There is a service called Freeview, you pay only for a set top box and you get all the free channels in digital format, otherwise you can pay for Sky or Virginmedia, which includes loads of channels and normally come as a package with Internet and phone.
I just want to clarify that you still have to pay the yearly TV licence even if you have Freeview, Sky etc.

Yes you do. Easiest to set up a direct debit & pay it monthly. I still think it is worthwhile & not a lot of money to fund the best public service broadcasting in the world (BBC).

This is compulsory, and the TV License authority is quite anal about enforcing this.
