What coaxial cable?

You would have to look at the aerial and wiring and see if there is an amplifier somewhere.  If there is then you need one suitable for that amplifier so you would need to look it up for the specs.

Thanks both! I'll see what happens when I connect up to it when the adaptor arrives, and if not working see what the situation is with the amplifier.

You don't need to wait for the connector to see if it's an antenna or sat dish, just take the plug off the end of normal coax or whatever comes out of your TV, poke the centre conductor in the hole and ensure the screen touches the outside thread and that none of the screen shorts out to the centre conductor. Use a small bit of tape to hold it in place while you check.

If you need more cable, I recommend Webro products, better quality than the cheap stuff from Screwfix etc.

I got the connector and it has successfully connected up to the Freeview aerial. Thanks all!
