thanks. I went to an electrical store and they gave me two of the coaxial connectors and a joiner not sure what you call them like the ones you use to connect terrestrial to a tv.
they did advise me to run a new cable eventually but they told me that this would work fine for now but its not working, still getting no signal. am i doing something wrong or should this work ?

this is what i done

make sure the outer braid doesn't touch the inner

that's tv connectors, satellite runs at much higher frequency , also power is sent down the cable to the LNB , so may not be good enough

also if the cable was kinked or stretched or pulled out of the back of the SKY box that can upset it too

Wrong type of connectors. You must solder them but even then there's a chance of "no satellite signal" on some channels.

Did you click on the link I provided? It shows the correct type.
