Hi @Luke+Samuel 

There are plenty of Satellite extension cables online at various lengths.

Any PF100 cable will work

 

sounds like the connection was possibly poorly joined.

You said you had Sky come out to extend the cable.  This implies it was working when the installer was there and demonstrated to you?  Seems odd that someone from Sky would extend the cable for you and leave you with an unsatisfactory picture.

 

Assuming the Sky engineer got things working to their satisfaction (and all of the ones I've seen are very competent), what's changed since they left your property?
