Hi lmb's are cheap on ebay, and so easy to fit, so no problem

Its worth having a new 80cm dish minimum if old dish is in bad shape, also cheap.

Any universal LNB will be ok, unless your dish has its own feed horn, then you will need a C120 lnb.

Most receivers now are diseq, your dish has probably got an actuator, if you have been using it with a Pace 500.

You could use a V-box

The VBox XB is on about is a converter box which changes disecq commands on modern receivers to power old actuator type dishes.

No, that is a cable TV box and totally unrelated.

Here's an example of a V-Box
