If I have "pay once watch forever" installed by Sky, how many LNBs will the dish have? I ask because I want to take advantage of the cheaper installation but then use the Freesat PVR instead of the Sky box.

Probably one, but any satellite PVR needs a dual-output LNB with their "record a channel, watch another" feature.

Definitely only one. The Sky installer will only install whichever LNB is necessary to supply the service you've paid for. So if you're getting a basic Sky box, you'll get a basic mono LNB and a single cable run from the dish to the box.
It could cost you more to get someone else out later to remedy that than it's worth. You might be better off arranging Freesat installation with one of the main High Street stores that stocks the Freesat box you're interested in. Freesat has laid down the law over how much they are allowed to charge for supply of dish/cabling/installation so you're unlikely to get fleeced.

Welcome ot the forum
Not suprising as it's been superceeded by Freesat, most of the sky free channels have migrated onto the freesat transponders and I think there's only a couple left that are dedicated Sky..
