Question Interested in starting

Hello,
I am interested in getting into FTA Satellite. I have a few questions. I used to have DirecTV is there anything besides the coax connections that run to the outside that can be reused. I mean the dish is still here attached to the house. Is it better to start from scratch and ditch the old dish? The next question I have concerns the stationary dish and a dish with a motor. I get the concept that a stationary dish is in one place and one satellite. (Or if you have an elliptical or a larger dish then maybe more satellites at once?) With the Motorized option, can the dish be positioned to a satellite using the receiver on the screen/remote/menu? Or do you have to manually tune the dish to where you want it, after you originally set the dish up? I am sorry in a way for all the questions, I just like knowing a lot of information before I make any decision. I also live in Northern Maine, in a town named Littleton. According to my Ham radio Grid square I am at Coordinates46.125041 -67.839044 about Any body know what I can pick up for Satellites here? Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing everyone and anyone! Any information will be helpfull in getting started. Is there anything else that I may need to know??? Thanks everybody!!!
