As you know, they all meant TV aerial.

As your profile says you stay in the Falkirk area, the two transmitters are Craigkelly in Fife or Black Hill (aka Shotts)... A prediction I did for one of the post offices suggests Craigkelly would be slightly better than Black Hill as Black Hill reception is by diffraction over the hills.
The outlook from the room you have toward the transmitter(s) is important as is the sort of building (some materials stop radio waves rather too well). That info is important. It may also be relevant if you are renting or own the building, intend staying long or are only there short-term.
Check with near neighbours what they use to get TV... Googling streetview shows large outside aerials in use in Falkirk which suggest things may not be as simple as using a set-top aka room aerial?0
