Both into one tv aerial socket?

Then, you should be ok with the usual "coax splitter", sold in most DIY stores for around £3. Used in reverse!

Note that, these are resistive, so have a small 3-5 dB loss, but that's no problem with standard UHF tv, and also ok for Freeview if a good signal.

If your Freeview signal is marginal, then a lower loss satellite type splitter (also used in reverse!) might be better, but make sure it's wideband, for both UHF and sat i.f. frequencies.
