You could try re-aligning the dish, see if you can get it to work, you could try a new LNB, you could check your cable is OK, you could check your line of sight.You could also check that your receiver works. It is a process of elimination.

You can't use aerial cable. You must use proper satellite cable.

Eliminate that first.
