Sky Freesat advice needed

Afternoon all
Haven't really got a clue about this sort of thing so was hoping someone here may know....
My mum just had Freesat installed at her house, her house is rented from ahousing association and they have taken the analogue aerial down in the area and installed freesat.
The problem now is that my brother can't use his normal freeview box in his bedroom as there is no aerial. When the engineer installed the Freesat, he left one Sky box. Is there anyway to get his Freeview box working upstairs, or can we just by a seperate free sat box and install it upstairs (i'd obviously prefer the free option)
Anyone got any idea's?

Freeview is terrestrial so needs an aerial.
You would need an additional freesat box, this would need to be wired to a spare LNB port on the dish, or a new quad LNB fitted that provides additional feeds.
PS Freesat is a BBC service, Freesat from Sky is a BSkyB service.That gum you like is coming back in style.0 -
Thanks for your advice, do you think it will be easy enough for me to connect it to the dish then?0

If you are confident on ladders, and can wire up F connectors to the coax then yes its a straight forward job.
If you are not get an installer in.
