    The aerial is the dish, with an LNB attached....

    cheapest prices usually are on Ebay for dishes/LNB's

    If you subscribe to SKY you might be able to get them to do it for you at "a reasonable rate".

    Assuming that you have a dish, you need satellite cable to connect the Sky Receiver to the dish, you also need two " f " type connectors.

    So is this just a standard aerial with the f type connectors? If not where can I get the cable from? What sort of cable is it?

    Yes I have a receiver and a dish and lnb but no cable to connect it together?

    It is " satellite cable " as I have already stated, not ordinary aerial cable, you can get it at B&Q, or Screwfix etc.
