TV link cable/magic eye. Will it work with freeview/freesat?

What it says really. We currently have Sky plus with a second TV in the bedroom controlled by a link cable. We intend to leave Sky and buy a Freesat box. Will the link cable still work with Freesat? If not, is there a simple way of achieving the same results?

Many thanks folks.

    Although your existing Sky box will revert to a Freesat sort of channel list after cancellation & the TV link will continue to work as normal.

    (The's only minor variations in the channel lists)
