Impaqt, Bell ExpressVu uses the existing Dish Network system for satellite broadcasting.
Unfortunately, we don't have anything to compare with in Canada as the customers can only choose from Bell ExpressVu supplied receivers. I would suggest that you contact the Bell ExpressVu support number (shown on the web site) and ask them for the info. Let me know if you have any problems.
Cheers
