To answer your question and not trouble shoot the problem, go to a true electronics store, either a S&B store or an online store and buy enough RG8 coax cable to go from what ever point you wish to use to your Sat. box, a package of F-Type, RG8 compression connectors(3GHz is what I am using), an installation tool, a cable stripping tool and a external cable connector plate.
I believe that the OP is not having problems with satellite but with his cable TV feed.
Here's a link to an article by Chris Bryant on TV issues:
Tune up your TV antenna
Although it's about antenna tune up it also addresses cable repairs
