You should also update the cable if they are like 15-20 years old.

you have to actually change the system on the roof not just the cable.
The Freeview Aerial looks like the old on but has an extra bit at the end which makes the aerial look like a giant arrow

from a side angle (sort of)
Plus when you first install the channels don't worry if you get two different broadcasting stations it'll only install the one with the stronger broadcast.
(i get Waltham and Sutton Coldfield - But keeps Sutton Coldfield)

Our TV aerial is 15 years old.
So is the aerial coax cable.
We can get over 75 Freeview channels, crystal clear.
Why bother with a new aerial??

The Co-Axial Cable does not need to be replaced however for optimum performance, it's highly recommended, as time eventually corrodes the cables and reduced the performance

Any aerial/antenna will pick up digital signals. Remember afterall that it's still electromagnetic radiation, regardless of the type of modulation. Your current coax will also work just fine, and you'll be able to view any program your TV is able to receive and process.

In theory the old cable should work OK. However if the old cable is very old and starting to corrode from the inside it should be replaced.

It's actually spelt 'aerial'.
Just for future reference and less risk of showing yourself up!

Plug it in, try it, and see if it works. It won't hurt it or damage it to try.
