I've been in a very similar position, also in W9, and I had no luck.
In my case I couldn't even get a decent TV picture on an ordinary TV 
with an indoor aerial, and you need a pretty much perfect picture to 
receive digital TV ok IME.
When I moved, although the picture was fine on ordinary TV's, it 
wasn't good enough to get the majority of channels on the set-top 
box. Replacing the old aerial with a high gain aerial did the trick - 
since then its been fine.
ITV digital used to state in their literature that setup boxes 
wouldn't work on communal aerials. I don't understand on what 
technical basis they make this statement, but I guess it must 
have /some/ foundation.
So: I don't think you stand any chance with an indoor aerial, and, 
based on the sensitivity of the roof top aerial, I'd wager a communal 
aerial will be hit & miss.
