It depends on the movie and receiver. The formats are either MPEG-2 or MPEG-4. Our HD receivers are in MPEG-4 and the other receivers are in MPEG-2. Eventually they will all be in MPEG-4.
DISH Network does not currently offer services in Canada.
There are many satellites that Dish Network uses.
You can use the dish but not the LNB; it will not work for dtv. The DISH Network LNB and the receiver decodes the signal and gives you a picture on your TV.
The codes we here at DISH Network have & would use to attempt to program the DISH Network remote with your Olevia TV would be, 506 or 127.
No, you cannot use a Charter cable box with Dish Network. Charter and Dish Network are two different service providers with incompatible equipment and technology. Each provider requires its own specific set-top box to access their channels and services. If you want to use Dish Network, you'll need to obtain their receiver.
Dish Network has a Canadian company called Dish Network Canada. You would have to subscribe to their services. Whether or not you could use old equipment would be a question only they could answer.
"Hoarders" airs on the A&E network, which is typically on channel 118 on Dish Network. However, channel numbers may vary depending on the specific location and package. To find the exact channel for A&E on Dish Network in your area, you can use the on-screen guide or check the channel lineup on the Dish Network website.
DISH Network uses quite a few different Satellites, not only one. The satellites we currently use consist of the following, 61.5, 72.7, 77, 110, 118.75, 119, and 129.

Sorry to inform you but there is a company called DISH high speed internet. It is part of the DISH network so you will have issues if you use their name.
My Dish Network receiver is connected to my home LAN and the internet via TCP/IP for remote control of my DVR, on-demand movie downloads, etc. IIRC, there's a place in the Dish OnLine menu to get the receiver to request an IPv4 address from a DHCP server. If there's no IP address, then there's no remote control, online movies, etc. I'd bet that DirecTV has a similar setup.
I just wanted to clarify the previous answer. DISH Network is available in Canada but provided by Bell Canada. The programming packages are different from the packages in the United States. All equipment is provided by Bell Canada.
