One thing i'm not convinced about, having not done this kind of thing before, is the connection at the back of the freesat box. I have two (all be it I only need one in this instance) connecter/plug type things which i've assumed fit onto the end of the cable in order to connect it to the Freesat box. Does the end of the cable need to be prepared, for want of a better word, in any way before fitting the plug onto the end?
For some reason I think it might be down to something like this. Although if this connection wasn't quite right isn't it more likely to have a partial signal loss as opposed to complete signal loss?!

As you say, I dont think it is the dish to be honest, but im not 100%. The dish is situated in such a place that it would be difficult to be moved in any way. Only once have I inpsected it close up, and that was to check if it was a quad-LNB. I am convinced that I didnt actual disturb it then though.
