Take a new cable from the dish to this box and you get all the free satelite stuff. You need free points at the dish to do this. If you dont have any spare connections at the dish, you need to change the LNB on the dish.
If you have an rte aerial already, you can run that to the sky box too so that you get the irish stuff that is not free to air on sat

Not from the Skybox though, should be pointed out.
