As there is no signal on input 1, there are only a few options:
Most likely is a loose/damaged connection either at the box or at the LNB (dish).
Less likely is damage to the cable
Even less likely is LNB failed, or faulty box.
Swap the two cables on the back of the box - if the no signal moves to input 2 then it's cable/connections/LNB.
If the problem remains on 1 then the box is faulty.
Given the fairly mediocre results in picture 1, you may be better to call Sky and have them deal with it.

HeHe, before anyone else calls me a knob/dick/sillArse.
Gave it some thought last night, checked this morning & my thought was right.
My dish is mounted at ground level, I had a plant that had grown up a few feet in front that had blocked the line of sight.
Whilst the plant (cosmos) had been there for a few weeks, what with all the rain etc. the plant had become quite dense.
Cut the plant checked signal strength & all ok. Wonder why I didn't lose all channels, please I sorted it before paying for engineer.
Ok now call me the names.

All sky's engineers are in Osterley. The people they send out are installers, so you won't get an engineer.
