I have a Funai DIRECTV Multisatellite Dish that is currently being used with my Directv subscription.

If I were to choose to switch to one of the two Canadian satellite services, can I re-use this dish by repositioning it correctly? If OK,does it matter which service I choose?
 
ExpressVu you could use part of the dish (the LNB for 101) will work fine for 91
StarChoice uses KU Band so you need at least a 24" dish and a KU Band LNB.

ExpressVu uses the same dish/LNB/switches as Dish Notwork
 
I am using a rather large pie plate from my DTV days with a dual LNB pointed at 82 for max rain fade headroom .

I then use a smaller DTV pie plate with dual LNB pointed at 91 . The 4 lines ( 2 going to a ASPEN SD 2X4 and 2 lines in to my SW44 4X4 powered multi swich combined with my 2 HD feeds ).

This scenario is the best approach for supporting my 2 - 9220 HDTV PVR's and one 4700 used primarily for galaxy music server and one 4100 for guest room.
