can sky digital work on older type dish.

gamer

I have a standard old type large dish ,its got arm with cambridge lnb on it ,about twice the size of sky dish , 4ft approx wide. if i connect it to skydigital decoder will it pick up sky digital signals , or can i get a lnb from peats ,and put it on dish arm in order to recieve sky.i,m just trying to setup fta channels at present, i have a sky card.lets presume new lnb will physically fit on dish arm.does lnb need to be 10- 12.7 frequency type.i dont think present lnb is 10 .7 frequency. i think its around 2.5ghz. i didnt try connect up reciever yet,i,d like to know before i start.if i simply replaced old lnb with new 1 would it work?

If you replace lnb with digital/universal it will work
