Currently i have 4 russian channels from Dishnetwork using 18" dish. I found out that there are 2 more channels: 1 on T5 and on on T11 birds. What kind of equipment do i need to receive those channels? I dont want a big dish on my roof so i will go with KU dishes. Whats the smallest size allowed to receive those channels from my area? ant help would be appriciated.

Thanks in advance

For your area the smallest KU dish will be 75 cm (30 inches). This will work fine in Toronto for T5; not sure about T11 - never tuned that bird in.

Why would you need analog?

I don't speak russian, but I believe there are some other channels that may be of interest to you on G10r. Just a thought. Any DVB FTA receiver would work for you with a pizza pan dish. If your using a big dish with C band, I would suggest getting a receiver with both digital and analog capability for KU.
