I know that the correct answer is to get an electrician to do it but...
I have had a switched, fused spur installed. I now need to connect my TV to it. I am assuming I do the following
Isolate power
Take face off
Snip plug off my TV power lead
Wire in the same colour wires from the lead to the same terminal ports as corresponding supply wires
Replace spur fuse with same size fuse as in plug
Replace face plate, stand back, cover head with hands and turn power on.
Am I missing anything critical or dangerous?
Do you mean you have a fused faceplate on a spur but nothing else connected?
If so, I'd just isolate at the CU and replace the faceplate with a socket.
Replace the faceplate with a unswitched single socket.
Why would you choose to have the TV connected to a fused spur?

It was my fault. I told him to do it on the other thread.

For space behind the tv, tv Mount is almost flesh so no room for socket
Its one of these
Having further googled I now see that I should expect to find Supply and Load terminals in the back, slightly less chance of me blowing something up now
Cut the plug top off the tv lead and strip back approx 75mm of the outer sheath.
Turn the power off at the consumer unit.
Take the SFS off and note the connections in the back. There will be four connections ignoring the Earth ones, a L & N for supply and a L & N for load. The existing house wiring will be/should be wired into 'supply', your tv connects to the 'load' terminals.
Make sure the fuse is approx 5A, they come with a 13A as standard which is a tad too high for the tv.
Et voila!
like this?
If the cable comes directly out of the tv without a connector (rare these days I think) it's worth considering and inline socket / plug if you can cram behind the telly.
The fact you're having to ask scares me, yes follow the guide, brown is live, blue is neutral, earth yellow and green (TV may not have an earth), yes swap the fuse to the one from the plug. Make sure the outer sheath of the TV cable is gripped by the cable clamp, not the inner cables.
