Sorry, I missed his answer confirming he had Sky Q prior to getting the E2 receiver Why is he being recommended to buy a hybrid LNB instead of just universal one? He no longer has Sky Q, so no need for the wideband part. There is quite a difference in price.
Not sure, satellite isn't my forte.
He has IPTV but wants free to air for viewing basic channels.
If that device has DVB-C/T tuner he may be better off using an aerial for Freeview instead of messing around with new LNB and the costs of having it fitted
EDIT
After a brief search it appears this device has a single sat tuner

Yes, it has a single Turner, it is ZGEMMA H9S SE.
From the product description, I think it has DVB S2X, but I don't know how to go about installing FTA channels on it.
"SleekView Latest Zgemma H9S SE Builtin wifi Ultra HD 4K FTA UHD Stalker DVB S2X Satellite Receiver"
How do I go about installing a Universal one?, where can I get one? I am still confused and don't know what to do?
Thank you. I am currently looking into it and see if I can get help with installation or if it's what I can try by myself

Can you access the dish safely? Take a picture of it and upload the picture here (forum)
I can try and send it today or tomorrow

Are you comfortable to use FTP programs like Filezilla and also copy & paste commands?
Yes, I think I should be able to do that. I have done that before.
am waiting, what would you like me to do with Filezila?

Issue this command in Putty or webif terminal client. FTP the file called mytunerconfig that will be created in /tmp to your PC, then upload it here
cat /etc/enigma2/settings | grep config.Nims > /tmp/mytunerconfig.txt
cat /etc/enigma2/settings | grep config.Nims > /tmp/mytunerconfig.txt
The skew angle is the angle that the l.n.b is positioned at For the 28.2 east transponder looking at your satellite dish face on the l.n.b
will be positioned at 1oclock
that depends diameter on lnb holder are sky q ones standard size I know the older sky lnb holders were not

The store bought LNBs will be 40mm and the ones Sky supply 37mm. But the store bought ones come with the holder/arm that is 40mm, so you replace the whole lot.
As the OP had Sky Q, he'll have a MK4 dish, so should be compatible.
okay, I will get back to you asap on it
From the look of things, I will need an expert to change or install the whole lot for me.
