Any receiver will work with C band. What you need is a C band LNB and the offset feedhorn. These are relatively cheap - won't cost more than £40 in total.
What sat box are you using now?Can anyone suggest a CHEAP receiver to play with while I'm messing about.
Used is ok.

Use your existing box - all it requires is a change to the "Antenna Setup" to alter the LNB Local Oscillator frequency to match that specified for your C Band LNB >> Unless that's the "messing around" you want to avoid?
If you really want a separate box (Which would seem to be even more messing around), try something like the latest Openbox (V8S, I think). Around £40 and very capable.

Quad.. should be easy enough to configure a tuner dedicated to C band LNB/dish.
I only have a single tuner Vu+ Uno and I am switching seamlessly between 2x C band LNBs, 1 Ku LNB on the 1224 dish and 1 Ku on the DiSEqC dish (4 in total).
I switch between c-band & Ka-band & ku band on 2 dishes. With diseqc switches. Like @Captain Jack said it should be very easy to setup.
Or perhaps you should get a sat meter of some sort.
