Yes the full amount of Freeview channels are available over most of the country, a few very low power relay transmitters carry Freeview lite, it has all the main channels (BBC, ITV, Channel 4 & 5 etc) but not ones like QVC & the selling channels, mind you most people don't watch them anyway. There is also Freesat & Freesat from SKY for those who want more channels who live in the few Freeview lite areas. I have some friends who live in Ireland & every single one of them has Freesat & watch British TV a lot, they have to put a British postcode in on setup & some have put mine, lol..
