I don't think so.
Only if it has a suitable tuner for digital terrestrial broadcast.
Check the receiver specifications.

No it will not work with an aerial.

The TM5400 is a satellite receiver only. It will only work when connected to a dish.

If you want FREESAT the dish needs to point to 28E.

The aerial connections are for loopthrough and to provide a UHF modulated output for any connected televisions.
