Jill: A Freesat box is an excellent non- subscription alternative to a Sky box as its 100% compatible with a dish system previously used for Sky, and so if your Sky box is genuinely broken and its not just the case that your dish is out of alignment then I would not hesitate in recommending a change to Freesat.
By the way what symptoms does your Sky box show? and is it a standard box or a Sky + version?
