My System: FTE MAXIMAL IRD 420 RECEIVER TELEVES 80cm DISH AND LNB
new member needs help!

hi everyone, im new to the forum and was looking for some advice(sorry!),
i have gained (from my father in law) a fte ird 420 box,which im trying to set up on a televes 80cm disc and universal lnb, in an apartment in gran canaria.
the system was bought through a guy here (who ripped us off) so im trying to set it up myself.
the questions are:
1 is the box any good
2 originally the box was set on a dual lnb set up for hotbird/astra 19.2 ( on an fte dish 1.2m i think) and just to test before buying anything im going to only astra 19.2 is the dish big enough for reception of astra (and maybe hotbird)?.
3 the box is was patched by the installer i guess (he never told us it illegal!) but at its last site (my father in laws ) we started to lose the premium channels (mainly the multiview stuff and eurosport i think) can it be patched again? and if so how and where?

4 i would also be glad of any installation adivice i could get!

thanks
