FTA boxes are a different beastie from Sky though.
Sky don't have regional variations, the extra BBC channels & ITV channels as part of their platform here.
It's good that you can tune them in manually, and it's very easy when you have the codes, but it's a bit of a pain to have to select them manually all the time. Also, because they're not on the Sky platform, you can't scan through the extra channels to see what's on later- only the current programme & the next one.
