If you want to use the tuner internal to the TV, I don't think you can access an antenna via HDMI input. I think you will need to repair the Coax fitting on the TV. HDMI won't accept an RF signal.

Repair rf input if possible as suggested or if you cant do it yourself or not possible to take it to get repaired or have someone come to you then a set top box with digital tuner.

An ATSC TUNER, antenna-in coax, outputs HDMI to TV.

An ATSC TUNER, antenna-in coax, outputs HDMI to TV.

If you use an external tuner or set top box, then its output CAN be fed to an HDMI input. It will cut the internal TV tuner out of the loop, nd you wouldn't need the coax connection. You still can't use a HDMI input for RF signals to the internal TV tuner.

OP says he wants ANTENNA, not cable service.

Set top box's have digital tuners for antenna / RF.

The first part of the quoted sentence acknowledged that fact if you had left it in. In either case, the point was that the OP needed some sort of external box to convert RF signals from an antenna to a format that could be input via HDMI.
