Quick freesat question

Our house currently has a satellite dish and is used for sky. Is it possible to use the dish for sky and freesat at the same time? If so is it just a case of changing the LNB and running a cable?

yep, just get a twin or quad output lnb and take a cable to the freesat box.

Ah ok, what about tuning....do sky and freesat use the same satellite?

Yes. Freesat uses Astra 2d and Eurobird 1, so between 28.2 and 28.5 degs east should do the trick.
