yes you can run a second box to receive the FTA channels or an old skybox without a card.
you will need a spare port on your LNB or replace your LNB with one with more ports ie.quad lnb(see www.maplin.co.uk)
you can pick up a FTA receiver below or also on the site above

no mate, you cant connect a cable box to sat, now if you pick up a another Sky box as cathal suggests above, you can do this, but cable into sat wont go, have a look at the link he gave below for options
I just told you, Sat and cable are different, would ya put petrol in a diesel car? no ya wouldnt, different engines mate, wont work. Cable box is for cable, Sat box is for sat
