You need to look into the posibility of taping into the roof antena.
You can get decent Freeview reception with an internal aerial if you have line of sight with the transmitter. My mother lives around 8 miles from the Emley Moor transmitter which you can see from her back windows and has no problem with Freeview and an internal aerial.

Argos exclude all Freeview boxes from their 16 day no quibble returns policy so you might be stuck with it if you have bought one there and can't get a signal.
