Sharing satellite capacity
 

I will shortly be moving to a flat which has only Virgin Media TV services (via satellite dish). There is no TV aerial so I cannot get Freeview. I am a Freesat user and do not which to take Virgin services. Can I get Freesat via their satellite? If so what do I have to do to activate it? I have a Samsung Smart TV.

Virgin Media don't do satellite dish services.

You seem to have some wrong information there.
Virgin Media TV services are delivered down a cable not via satellite.
You need to confirm what connection is available.
If it is a satellite connection, you can maybe have Freesat.
If it’s a cable feed, you can’t have Freesat.

A twin LNB fitted to the dish would give 2 separate outputs. Many dishes come with them as standard.

Typically under £15, but can cost a fair bit to fit if the dish is hard to get at. Plus cabling of course.

Cost it up, and then check ebay for complete satellite kits. Some can be found for well under £100.
