I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're asking but in all or most locales here, that areas local channels broadcast their signal free and over the air.
There are basically 2 services available for Satellite broadcasts in the UK.
AFAIK, that type of free service is not available here. The OTA stuff I mentioned can be picked up on home made rabbit ears.
