I have a normal sky box at home and i an HD tv, can i split the link and use a freesat box/pc card as well or do i have to run another cable from the dish?

Depends on the dish - is it quad LNB?

Erm, we have 3 boxes running off of it at the moment!

Looks like there is room for 1 more, so i have to run a new cable huh?

As far as I know, yes, but for a definite / quicker answer check cableforums or avforums.

You need another feed from the LNB for each receiver, so yes, you need a new cable.
