Looks like I will need to get under the house again and run some more cable.
Thanks for your help and suggestions Wainui.

Peter. No Problems, went a little overboard with suggestions :D

But for your immediate problem, a simple 5 port Switch connected to the current feed with one outlet going to Freeview and another cable going to MySky, that will work fine and still have a few ports left Over as spares.

Kind of like this rough Sketch

No, the only limitation is the gigabit speed back to the router which is shared and is not an issue for any normal use.
The two devices you mention will not come close to maxing out the connection and your internet speed would be the limit anyway.
