On the back of my MySky are two F-type inputs for the sat feed (Input 1 and 2). Currently I have a splitter feeding both, but when I disconnect Input 2 I still have a signal. Could I redirect that input to freeview?

Are you quite certain you still get reception on both tuners with one of the cables removed?

Try recording something then change the channel,doubt both tuners will be working with only one connected. Get a sat grade three way splitter.

If you disconnect the 2nd tuner input you will not be able to both view live and record at the same time, as suggested get a 3 or 4way 2GHz rated splitter and all should be just fine.
