hi @refinery 

 

Unfortunately SKY Q uses a different LNB to Freesat

 

To use both SKY Q and Freesat you need what is called a Hybrid LNB but ubfortunately SKY stopped installing these a while ago. 

 

You may be able to get a local installer to install one

FreeSat (Via dish) or FreeView (Via aerial)?

I am just another Sky customer and my views are my own

Hi @refinery 

If you are referring to Freeview and you have a terrestrial aerial there  is not any RF (terrestrial outputs ) on Sky Q so you will have lost the ability to use the Q box for RF out.

You will need to buy a simple powered aerial splitter to take the input from your terrestrial aerial and feed it to your main TV and also to the other Televisions.

Something like the following
