I just moved and in doing so my TV was damaged. The cable was ripped

I have pictures of the part that was damaged but I don't know what it
is or where to buy a part to replace it. Help!!

See pictures below - it's the shiny silver box with a hole in it.

look at picture 2. there seems to be a metal prog/pin protruding
slightly from within the hole where the coax jack used to be.

if you are lucky, soldering a new piece of coax cable with a coax
socket on it (to plug your aerial into) may be all that is needed.
You'd solder the centre pin of the coax lead to that protrusion, and
the braid to the metal can's shielding.

And if the live chassis protection has been compromised? Maybe
unlikely given the look of this picture, but if that blocking
capacitor has shorted, you'll blow a fuse or two.
