    Simplest thing for you would be to get an aerial installer to fit a decent outdoor aerial, with a distribution amp for the two or three locations you have.
    Sky would sell you a multiroom system, or wire up magic eyes to your bedrooms for which they would charge extra, they would have nothing to do with terrestrial aerials.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    The best way for reception is to fit an aerial to the roof

    Well, splitting the signal 3 ways means it will also be a 3rd of the original strength. So id suggest an amplifier box (Not the best things in the world, but if your not THAT bothered about tv, then youll probably be very happy with it)
