It may work, assuming that your area does carry the terrestrial signals 1-5.

There is a lot of dabate as to whether this can cause interference to your own or other signals. Some say that the cable plugged into the TV will have a proper resistance termination. Others that if it's done incorrectly then "noise" may be put back into the cable, degrading your own signal, and perhaps that of your neighbours. I suppose it's try and see.

Whatever you do don't try to remove the existing crimped screw threaded conector, just get an adaptor. You'll never make your own connection as well as the current crimped one.
