Default Need Advice on LNB setup.

Hey guys.
I have been using a motorized 36" KU band dish for many years to get international FTA programming from various countries.

Recently, my boss gave me a 10 foot mesh dish that he had stored and cared for very well. Its in real nice shape.

Only thing is, I know nothing about C-band (other than how to physically hook it up and aim the dish), and I'm wondering if I need to update the LNB setup to a newer one.



The feed horn, scaler ring, and servo are Chaparrel.. I couldnt find any numbers on them except US PATENT NO. 4414516 on the feed horn.

I would like to use this setup for C band (and possibly KU band) FTA channels. Will this setup work, or do I need something different?
