FTA great for multi-language families

I know that everyone knows this already, but for multi-language families FTA satellite is a must have.

I cannot get G10 where my dish is located, but we watch Spanish tv on our DN subscription(the now non-existing Dish Latino Platinum).

My wife can watch Thai and Lao channels on IA5.

My children are watching a tv show from Taiwan on ET Global where people are throwing water balloons at other people who are tied to a target. My daughter used to watch this show in Taiwan, and was excited to see it again.

I don't understand Thai, Lao, or Chinese, but I get to play with the system.

Unfortunately, unless one has a c-band dish, we're SOL on Japanese programming. Even then, there's only a couple of Japanese channels.
