I've gone to Lyngsat & found many ethnic (Spanish) satellites that I'm interested in getting. Again, if I'm not able to say 110/119, my apologies, but they are listed in the Lyngsat website.
THere is nothing wrong with MENTIONING "82 + 91 or 110 + 119" , it's just that the mods seem to have a quick trigger finger when they see people mention those sats because it usually means that the poster is trying to pirate encrypted channels. There are legitimate reasons for tuning in those satellites, since almost all of the DBS sats have occasional FTA channels on them, even the Bell ExpressVu satellites Bobcat mentioned. I have found FTA channels on ALL those channels.

I was about to come to your defense thinking that you might be confused about just what FTA was, however looking at the equipment list you have, I suspect that you are probably not confused, and the mention of those sats does give the impression that you are already doing more than just watching the few unencrypted channels on those DBS sats. Ie nobody buys 3 Coolsat 5000 receivers to pick up NASA TV plus a couple music channels on 110/119. SO, even though your questions have not involved any pirating activity, I think I would ask, just what are you using the 3 Coolsat receivers for? Because once you make it clear what you're doing, I think there may be a reluctance by some to give aid on any topic.
