I grew up in the US, but I had a similar limitation because my parent's house was in a ravine. Eventually in my tweens I wired an antenna up on the roof (my room was in the attic) and was able to capture a handful of signals, but changing the channel involved climbing out on the roof to adjust the antenna, so it was not convenient. I definitely credit this with stoking my interest in computers and other hobbies. The neighbor kids had cable and they never seemed to do anything else.
