Confused about antennas

I have an Orasat v5.0 receiver and a new Disque switch and all kinds of antennas but I have no idea what lnb I need to receive JCTV or anything else. I'll just list them:

Round Primestar dish & lnb (never used)
StarChoice eliptical Ku with quad lnb
An old eliptical 3 position Direct TV
Dish 500 two position (119 & 110) with quad lnb

I mainly want to receive Galaxy 25 and was intending to use the Primestar dish for that. Anything extra is just icing on the cake.

I recently learned that my lifetime Dominion Sky Angel service is about to die.

This is what I'm hoping to receive: TBN, Church Channel, JCTV, Enlace and Smile of a Child are now available with NO MONTHLY FEES to all viewers on direct-to-home (DTH) satellite; Intelsat Americas 5 . Intelsat Americas 5 covers all of United States of America, Canada, Mexico and most of the Caribbean. Most areas require a small 30-inch dish (36-inch dish is preferred), an inexpensive free-to-air (FTA) direct-to-home (DTH) receiver and Ku offset dish antenna that's capable of receiving the signal from the Intelsat Americas 5 satellite.

Some have said the Primestar antenna should work, some the *Choice, some say I'd have to modify the length of the arm to the lnb and get a different lnb. I'm so confused!

What do I need? Thanks!
