Yes it can but with a few conditions:
If two televisions need to run on the same antenna feed, then a splitter will be needed. These are either passive or active. If you have a clean and string signal, a passive splitter will be fine. You can normally find out the signal strength by looking at the set up or diagnostics menu on a television. Most have an indication of the signal strength and quality for each channel. If they all show a very good signal, passive splitters should work fine. If the signal is moderate or poor, then an active splitter will be needed. The splitter will need a mains power supply and will amplify the signal. Normally they will have two, three or four outputs.
If the aerial feed simply has to be moved, then the cable can be extended using suitable RF connectors. Note that the cables cannot be twisted together or joined using a terminal block.
If parts are needed, try to buy them from a local aerial specialist. They have the experience to tell you what you will need for your area.

How does a Freeview box work?
You have to "loop through" the aerial. That is - you plug the aerial directly into the Freeview box and then use a short link cable to connect the Freeview box to the tv aerial socket. Most Freeview boxes come with this short lead in the carton. It's easy and obvious how to do this (when you see the equipment) and it enables you to watch existing analogue transmissions until they're finally switched off.
Do you need an outside arial for a small freeview tv?
Freeview is the UK terrestrial digital television servce. It uses conventional television aerials but a Freeview tuner demands a good signal to operate. Although indoor aerials can sometimes work, the signal strength inside a home is much weaker than outside. Often, an indoor aerial will not give good or reliable results but it depends on the signal strength and how the building affects the signal. The only way to find out if an indoor aerial will work reliably is to try it and see. Don't be disappointed if it doesn't work at all or if only a handful of channels are found. Local aerial installation companies will have experience of the area and will be able to offer guidance based on your location.

My free view box doesn't work on my TV because I don't have an aerial on my house would an indoor aerial work?
It is unlikely that an indoor aerial will deliver a signal to drive a Freeview receiver. Digital television demands a good quality signal in order to decode it correctly. A poor analog signal would be shown by "snow" on the image. The same level of signal quality in a digital system would produce no picture at all. It might be worth trying an indoor aerial. You may be lucky enough to be in a strong signal area. If not, you may need to consider an external aerial.
The television has only an aerial connection can you still get freeview?
Freeview is the digital terrestrial television service for the UK. It is replacing analog services which will be switched off by 2012. To receive Freeview, either a television with a digital receiver is needed (most telvisions sold from 2008 have a digital tuner) or a separate Freeview receiver is needed. Most Freeview receivers have video and audio outputs which connect to AV inputs on the television. If a television has no AV inputs at all, then a Freeview receiver that outputs the decoded signal on the RF connector will be needed. Not all digital receivers have this function so it is important to check before buying. Before buying, ask the question "Does this receiver output its decoded signal as an analog RF signal?" It is not unknown for a salesman to say yes even if they don't know the answer. Remember that if you have asked the question and explained that it is vital to have the facility, you are entitled to a full refund if it turns out not to be the case. Better still, ask to study the manual before parting with cash.
Have a digital aerial with freeview tv but getting break up of picture and souund ss141jw?
Simply, the signal is still not strong enough. Check you cable connections and make sure the cable is intact and suitable for use. Check the plugs do not have stray braid, shorting them out. If all is perfect, then you just live in a weak signal area. Get a bigger aerial or put it higher up.
