Mexico reception

Hello .... I live in Mexico on the East coast about 400 miles south of Brownsville, TX. I currently have Star Choice Canadian sattelite t..v. which works really well down here but the programming SUCKS
The reason I haave this system is because Direct T.V. gives you such a hassle about using their system in Mexico ( from.. it won't work or it's illegal or franchise rights etc. ) All of the above is bull ... with the right setup and equipment it does work ...... but rather than go through all the hassle we went with Star Choice who doesn't ask any questions as long as we have a credit crad to charge the monthly payments to.

Anyway... the question is : With the right antenna ( dish ) will I be able to receive U.S. progamming in Mexico with Dish Network ?
Second: Will Dish Netwrk sell me a system .... receiver and antenna etc. with the knowlege that I will be taking the system to Mexico and installing it myself .... or Third : Will I have to go through the rigamarole of having a dealer set up the system for me somewhere in the States ( I keep a residence in Florida ) and then as soon as it's activated .... disasemble it and move it to Mexico and then re-aim the dish and log on again ?
Fourth ; I currently have .85 M dishes for my Star Choice system ..... would they work with a Dish Netwrk receiver ? ( so I wouldn't have to buy a new antenna(s) ?
If I set up the system in the U.S. ..... would the sattelite they assign me work in Mexico or would I have to switvch to a different sattelite.
If yes, I have to switch .... how much of a legal / permission required hassle would that be ?

Any help with these questions or other pertinent advice you can offer would be appreciated
