Freesat and Sky use the same dish and LNB system, if you have a quad or octo LNB you can connect the second box without any problem.

No such thing as a Freesat dish, both Freesat and Sky use the same minidish and LNB, with the same alignment.

Yep, as above, it's the same dish, with the same LNB in it, pointing in the same direction. Run a cable into whatever room the box is in, and that's it.
