Wow...
Is FTA technology overseas so much more advanced than the USA? Is our government too strict on the technology? I can't believe we are not inline with our oversea neigbors!

yes.

In Europe there are thousands of channels FTA and a bunch scrambled but you can buy the card to subscribe and use your FTA box.

Here are 2 good examples from Lyngsat. From what I have read, Astra at 19.2E and Eurobird at 28.2 are the big ones....just look at the in the clear stuff (including a bunch of analog)

Astra 1E/1F/1G/1H/1KR/1L at 19.2°E - LyngSat
Eurobird 1 & Astra 2A/2B/2D at 28.2°E - LyngSat
 
The satellites on this side of the world (North America) are so empty compared to the European satellites, but for the most part FTA started there, so I hope some day we will have the same here, I hope a provider will decide to put up a package of channels, maybe with commercials to support it. If there is more 24/7 Permanent content I am sure FTA will become more popular.
