No. UK tv channels are only available in the UK, and can only be watched via the internet in the UK. This is because in order to receive them you have to be in possession of a British tv licence. This may change however in a few years time.

Adey, you are wrong! A Brit tv license is to have a TV in Britain.

You can get a couple of UK channels here (BBC Prime, Food, UK TV) but the content is as UK. There are also a few Brit series on Showtime.

I assumed the questioner was referring to the terrestrial UK channels. They are streamed on the internet but only within the UK for the reasons I mentioned earlier. BBC Prime is not really a TV 'channel' as such, just repeats of ancient programmes.
