I am wondering if the ParaTodos dish that DirecTv has would be compatible with the SuperDish Dish Network is going to offer, or at least the dish part.

I would guess the answer would be NO because the Para Todos dish is based on satellites with a 9 degree spacing and 121 is only 2 degrees from 119.

What is the size of the Para-Todos dish? The same size that the SuperDish is going to be? I figured there could be some type of adapter made to make it work.

The original oval dishes were 18" X 24". The newer oval dishes are 18" X 20".

Why? The ParaTodos/Plus dishes are made for DirecTV and the Superdish is made for Dish. LNBs won't work for sure.

One could switch the lnbfs couldn't they? Since they make the new ParaTodos dish smaller did they chance a focus point to make it smaller or what did they do to make it such a smaller dish to pick up 3 orbital slots? Why couldn't Dish make theirs that small for 3 orbital slots? Interference?
