Dstv LNB question

Hehe, I have to put my dish up this coming weekend. I took my moms dish as she isn't using it, but my dad bought the think like 10years ago.

I used the dish last year and all was fine, but hopefully it would still be fine! The only problem is that I have to put down a 50m cable to the dish - that will be a mission!

Edit: One question thought. Does anybody know where can I get the panels you put in the wall that has a socket for a radion arial, the normal TV antenna and then the dstv cable plug? The one I have has only got plugs for TV and radio, but my previous place in alberton had plugs for radio, tv and dstv.

Edit: This is the current outlet box I have, but I want a third plug for the dstv:

Electrical supply shop some normal hardwares will stock them too.
 
Ok, so my signal strength is 80%, signal quality 100%. I know the dish is pointing correctly, as it was done by an accredited company in the first place. Should my signal strength be better? I have nothing in the path of my dish (buildings, trees etc.). Should I try rotating the LNB? I took a best guess yesterday when i installed it.
