Don't Sky have a one off deal to fit a dish that can receive

AIUI, that's not Freeview - it's FreeSAT. It may carry a similar (but not
identical) mix of channels, but it uses different technology and needs a
different sort of decoder (set top box). So a digital TV which contains the
equivalent of a Freeview STB won't be able to understand the signal from the
satellite.

I'm sure others will correct me if this is wrong!

Nope, that sounds about spot on. The bundle of channels is different
(although there is an overlap)
