When I was a kid my cousin came to visit from Canada & was fascinated with the vertically polarised H, X & K shaped TV antennas on the roofs of English houses, I asked him if Canadian houses had them? He said "no, everyone in Ottawa has a V shaped rabbit ears antenna on top of their TV!" Must have had a strong signal in Ottawa...
There were some British situation comedy shows where they had indoor antennas on top of the TV. They'd often be adjusting them to try & get a better picture for comedic effect, they'd be saying "left a bit, right a bit, up a bit, down a bit!" & end up losing their tempers, lol.... I've never lived in a strong enough signal area to use an indoor antenna. At my present house I have a UHF antenna that I put up myself in the loft that works OK, I'm too cowardly to put it on the roof...
