I have two cables running from two different cable TV decoders. They both
output the cable channel on the same frequency. I want to plug different
devices into them (TV in one and video in the other) so I can watch one
cable channel and record a different one.

What I get on the screen is BOTH cable channels at the same time in my
technical terms that means massive interference. I have isolated it to the
wall socket because if I take the socket away and terminate the cables with
a connector they work ok. What I want is an socket that has two outputs
that are screened from each other. The only other solution is to put a
second socket in and have a single outlet in each one. But they need to be
a fair distance apart and that doesn't suit me.

I was using standard Twin outlets. But they are not screened.
