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)?

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
