Also have a DAB tuner in the car and no special aerial for that too again with good signal.
Your car aerial will be optimised for frequencies closer those used by DAB broadcasting anyway.

As for the TV aerial, as I said, it'll work, but you mileage my vary, as the signal strength required will need to be stronger than if you were using a dedicated aerial.

Also, some TV aerial systems have bandpass filters/highpass filters to them, these would removed DAB frequencies from the feed.
