Vizio VX42L - broken DTV input, Help

I purchased a Vizio VX42L a few months ago and mounted it to the wall with the Universal Swingout Arm (VMA4260).

All went well until one day the coax cable to the antenna got caught when I was pulling the screen away from the wall.  It snapped off the DTV input connector.

The repair estimate from Vizio is substantial.  Is there an easier fix for this to get the connector replaced?

I am currrently using broadcast signal until next year I plan to get cable or a media center PC.  Then I suppose I won't need that connector.

Can you connect a broadcast antenna through the HDMI?
