As Ben says the booster isn;t designed to transmit the signal via the mains cabling but instead it boosts the signal over co-axial cable. with or without the booster you still need the co-ax..
Yep, you need an antenna, a bit of coa-ax and a TV to recieve TV channels
If the antenna is weak (indoor or a fringe area) or it's a long co-ax run then the booster you show goes between the coax to the antenna and another piece of coax to the TV and amplifies the signal
BUT they can;t perform miracles and boost a really bad signal

Re: aerial boosters
The aerial amplifier you are looking at does not replace a cable, it boosts the signal in the cable. We have had this discussion with the OP already in another thread.
In short there is not yet a way to wirelessly transmit high quality video to a large screen TV. Ofcom have hinted at licensing this type of product in future, but it is not yet off the drawing board.
A direct connection from the TV to aerial is the only option.
would have been cheaper and better ( if only 1 tv is need ) a female coax to male ( coax meters needed ) and male coax plug at end to plug in tv/freeview box . u drop some db`s but would be low.

Indeed we have, and I see no reason for there to be two threads on what is basically the exact same issue.
