    NO....As I answered in your other thread where you asked this question.
    You need a separate feed from the Sky dish for each & every Sky box in the house,TWO if it's HD.
    You cannot run a Sky box from any other source & Freeview does not run thru Sky,for Freeview you need an EXTERNAL aerial.If you run a feed from the Sky dish to another Sky HD box but do not subscribe to the Sky channels,then you can recieve FTA (Free To Air) channels including some HD content.
