- My Satellite Setup

Hi Guys, New to the forum, after going it alone for 2 week ive decided i need real advice and info.
So my setup is - Lg 49" UH620V Smart 4k Tv, with cable, Satellite and terrestrial tuner, Tv only has 1 F Plug satellite socket.
My dish is my old Sky Plus HD dish which was still on the wall with a twin output LNB, definitley not Sky Q, i was on Sky Plus about 5 year ago. The Twin cable is connected to the underneath of the LNB, the 2 outputs are marked V and H, i assume thats vertical and horizontal.
With just one cable selected, which im told is fine, i tune the satellite on my TV, it had 2 options, FREESAT, which relys on postcode etc, and Other Operators, I have tried both, on a freesat search it only shows it has picked up 152 channels, and some radio channels, on a blind search it picks up more than that.
When tuning in FREESAT, the channels either show NO SIGNAL, or INVALID SIGNAL with a black screen and some little graphic bouncing around, Nothing works going down that route.
On a blind search, it does pick up a few free channels, but the rest seem to be made up of Sky scrambled channels and some foreign channels.
Just to add, when i scan freesat, it does not show you what satellite it is searching, the default appears to be 28.2e, However on a blind search you can select the satellite(s) you want to search, so my settings are 28.2e, 9750/10600, LNB power on, Unicable off.
Im getting nowhere and starting to think this is a waste of time, does anyone have any idea what im doing wrong??
Ive just completed another blind search, Channel one is now STN Bangla UK, 2 is CHSTV, 3 = Ahlebait tv, 4 = Xpanded Tv 2 etc etc.
Also, both scans, freesat and other operators, also do pickup and show the correct EPG.
#HELP!!! please, before i throw it all in the bin............
