There is an OS installed on it but the first time you plug it in it will download an update and what it chooses to show you in terms of channels will depend on where you are located rather than where it was purchased - the box is effectively the same no matter where you buy it.

Are there any rumors of new channels coming to UK and Ireland?

The US version has more channels but licensing etc means that our version is relatively sparse. Apple may be focused on the 4th gen of Apple TV but for it to really take off you would think that they will have to improve the content as the hardware is great already.
