Digital TV (UK)

Where I live (so-called 'civilised' - ie not everyone has mains sewerage or gas, and we cannot get cable or broadband!!) I am told by the 'Freeview' website that I cannot have that either.

Informed opinion locally is to ignore that, so I had a mate bring his set-top box along and, lo and behold, I have a sort of reception on SOME channels, varying from zilch to perfect.

I know I will probably need to upgrade my aerial to high gain, and I already have an amplifier in circuit. The puzzle is why are some channels 'dead' (UK History) and some perfect? Are there any gurus of the digibox out there with any tips?
