Does this do what I think it does?

Don't know, what do you think it does?

It may work as an aerial if you are in a very good reception area,
otherwise it makes for an ungly ornament.

It seems to replace the through the wall aerial cable
and provide freeview channels.

Any aerial (so long as it is an appropriate group for the transmitter
you are using) provides Freeview channels.

An outdoor aerial on the roof will work best, one in the loft next, and
an inside one last.

Note the product you linked to contains an amplifier. You are generally
better off without one unless you actually can't do without it.

Use this page to work out what transmitter you are on:

and hence the group (i.e. frequency range) of aerial required (again go
for the grouped aerial if avaiable rather that using a wideband).
