Have to say that is a good move, I know a lot of Asian families tend to go with Sky so they can get some Asian channels in one of the packs and then tend to pay for one of the Asian packs.

I have been getting Zee TV for the wife for a while now so this seems like a bargain. It is live on their site and CS were able to added to my pack.
