Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Does the box have to be connected to an outside ariel?

    Mine works fine in the loft with a small mains amplifier, transmitter is around 11 miles away!

    I've had freeview working with a small indoor aerial with no amplification but... I've also had it not working with a small indoor aerial.

    It does depend on signal strength.
