Edna: You can't get FreeVIEW with a Sky box, but you can watch the fSfS (Freesat from Sky) channels - see the list on the All free-to-watch channels | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice page.
You will need a satellite signal cable attached from one of the two spare outputs on the "LNB" on the dish to your box, but this is all that is required.

Chris: The beam for that transponder is slightly different to the "normal" ones for the UK - see Eutelsat satellites : EUROBIRD 1 satellite at 28.5 degrees East - this could be the cause.

Nick: Most, but not all, Freeview boxes offer the 14:9 option, which is what you see on analogue TV.
However, some boxes only offer "centre cut out" 4:3 and the "thin letterbox" 16:9 options.
