Connecting Aerial socket to Tv Aerial!

Yes it can but to feed several TV's you need a distribution amplifier. The downlead from your aerial goes into the input socket and then you connect each of your downleads to different rooms to the outputs. The unit also needs to be connected to a mains supply but this can easily be picked up from the lighting circuit in the loft.

Obviously I don't know what your current set up is but if you can break into the downlead from your roof aerial and fit a distribution amplifier in line, you can then connect the other downleads that feed the other rooms to this amplifier. You can't just keep connecting extra TV sets to one aerial, as the signal from the aerial needs to be amplified first. I have a similar box which then feeds the other rooms in the house.

i might already have one of those in my loft because the rest of the rooms have a working aerial socket (4 of them)."He's a maniac, maniac that's for sure,

OK so you need to connect your non working downlead to this then. Unfortunately these distribution amplifiers come with various different numbers of outlets i.e. 4 outputs, 6 outputs etc. Therefore you may need to swap the existing 4 output one for one with 6 outputs. see the current Argos cat. page 355.
