Extending a coaxial cable

Hello,
having changed the arrangement of the furniture, the coaxial cable connecting my satellite dish and my Canal Sat decoder is no longer long enough. I would like to find a way to extend it without replacing it (as that would be quite a hassle). The cable goes directly from the satellite dish to the decoder, without going through a coaxial socket or an extender.
So I would like to find a device that allows me to connect two coaxial cables without soldering them.
And if I need male or female connectors, please let me know.
Thank you.

you just need to extend it................
either you buy a ready-made cable with 2 F plugs on the ends
or you make the cable yourself with coaxial and 2 F connectors (male)
and in both cases you connect the 2 cables together with a F type F-F connector

I did a test with my HD decoder because I wanted to move my TV due to the arrangement of my corner sofa. But if you look closely, there doesn't seem to be any signal problem at first glance, but if you pay attention, there's a slight loss of image clarity and the "grain" pixelation isn't the same. I compared RMC Découverte HD; it's clear that an extension is always just an extension... unless there's a preamplifier before connecting the cable to the decoder (like in the days of antenna boosters). That's what I've noticed, or maybe I'm just overthinking it, but in that case, we're both in the same boat—my friend, who is a computer scientist and a TV enthusiast (he has a 140 cm full HD 3D TV), and I.
