most probably cable, go buy new RG6 cable and 2 F-connector and replace it yourself

cable that is running from satellite dish to decoder, change that cable, make sure that it is RG-6

satellite signal transmit in digital format, picture quality can not be improved any more using any better cable, but better quality cable will resist rain-fade better

by the way astro original cable is very low in quality, I think it is local made

if you can received other channels, thats mean the dish is perfectly align with the measat satellite and LNB has no problem, don't move that dish! just change the cable and the F-connector, don't forget to weather-proof the connector.

astro currently transmit on DVB-S modulation standard, which is not very economical to carry HD contents, they need to use second generation modulation standard DVB-S2 which is 30% more efficient in compressing the data stream, which translate to viewer need to buy new decoder capable of receiving DVB-S2 signal.
