You may find that B&Q stocks the bits - they certainly stock the cable screw coaxials.
If you have a maplins near by then take the unit in and see what they can do.

Good info Steve (And bl**dy quick)- B&Q is much nearer than Maplins, so I'll give them a go first!

What you need are screw on F-connectors. These are used to connect the cable to the LNB and the sat receiver. You should also use self amalglamating tape to seal the external connection to the lnb to prevent water ingress.
Cable wise you need to be looking for screened CT100 satallite cable. Ordinary TV aerial cable is not sufficiently screened. Run the cable through the house wall without cutting it to minimise signal loss and on the outside wall create a small loop below the exit point to prevent rain from collecting at the exit point and potentially running in the house (of course you will seal it as well)
