Ahh the marketing paradigms that constrain ones thinking.....

I've mounted an external DVB-T antenna in a roof cavity (Under plywood 
and tarry tiles) and it works flawlessly. No technical reason not to use 
an exterior antenna internally, and it will last much longer as a bonus! 
The vertical panel arrays might be more friendly to mount inside, some 
WAF might also "interfere". Directionality will remain critical.
