The set top box is just a big decoder, you still need something to receive the signal with.

You will need an antenna.

I think one of the govt. websites about digital TV has a coverage map - might offer a little insight.

You may be better off sticking to analog - at least then you may be able to get a dodgy picture (better than no picture at all with digital)

You should definitely attach an antenna to some kinda of booty-fab home made hot air balloon, for extra elevation.
