Some of the Asian channels should actually be included free in the XL pack. Sky currently offer the whole star package in their top package free of charge.

ITV HD is currently testing FTA however from what ppl have been saying in a different post a Sky receiver cant pick it up atm, although FTA HD receivers can.
