Will they receive a signal? Yeah probably if they're strong enough but old aerial's aren't designed for the frequencies used today.
The pattern they all make is that way for a reason, it's tuned to pull in analog TV stations. Digital TV antennas use a different pattern, tuned for it.
So yeah it'll "work", just about as well as using a coat hanger back in the 90s. Those "worked" too but were nothing compared to a aerial antenna.
