If the satellite dish is already there and working then in theory you could just either buy an Ex Sky box off ebay and use a FreeSatallite from sky card (Decrypts certian channels) or buy a freesat box and connect it to the satellite output.
I'm pretty sure the Freesat boxes pickup their signal from the same constellation as SKY and can be used with a dish originally installed for sky.

Constellation isn't quite the right description! The Sky and Freesat packages are spread across the Astra 2 group of satellites and Eurobird 1. The Astra 2 satellites are in orbital positions known as 28.2E. Eurobird at 28.5E. Close enough for a minidish to pick up.
However, I think the original poster is looking at Freeview - Terrestrial Television.
