I believe you have to have the latter.
DISH will not unscramble anything on T-5 as the signal is too weak.

I had to pay an extra $100 bucks for the "International dish" (points
at a different satellite) to get Arabic. And $23-30/my for the
channels (2 package choices.)

I am pretty sure, but not certain that Korean works the same way.

The second dish is aimed at 61.5, another DISH NET satellite, and there
are several asian packages including the "Korean package" that gets 4
channels.

NOT free to air though.
Even the VERY limited programing that's beamed from T5 is scrambled.

Won't work. Two different frequency ranges involved. Install a dedicated MPEG2
FTA system for T5 and whatever for your Dish Network.
Unless things have changed, the Dish Network antenna had to receive the ethnic
programing from Echostar 3 in addition to the normal
programing at 110W and 119W..
