Freesat comprises the same channels transmitted on the same frequencies as the existing Sky services - Astra at 28.2E and Eurobird at 28.5E.
So it's the same dish pointed at the same satellites receiving the same frequencies.
Basically the main difference is the EPG which is different on Freesat receivers to that on a Sky receiver
