Star Choice in SE USA

[LithiaSpgs]

I have been a sub to ExpressVu for quite sometime but it is somewhat
inconvenient. I understand that Star Choice is more convenient for those of us
in the USA who wish to get Canadian programming. I have been told the following
facts:
1. Star Choice now has a footprint that covers the entire USA as opposed to
just the northern part. True or False?
2. Star Choice systems can be had for about $100 USA. True or False?
3. Cost are about the same vs ExpressVu. True or False?
4. While you must give Star Choice a Canadian address, you may opt for ebilling
and they will not send a paper bill to that address (not available with
ExpressVu). True or False?
5. You may pay your Star Choice bill via credit card over the internet and they
don't care if it is a USA based card or billed to a USA based address. True or
False?

Pretty well. For more than 3 years for their primary satellite. Their
secondary satellite might be weaker in the south.

I think they have that option.

need a broker or freindly Canadian to maange your account affairs
though.
