just clean it up.
Disconnect the box from everything first, obviously.
get a small wire brush, fine brass wire if possible and give it a rub in the direction of the thread, also take a pin or needle and give inside the centre hole a good scrape in case there's corrosion inside, then try it again, i assume the cabling has been renewed?

Make sure cable is renewed and taped up with waterproof tape on the outlet of the dish lnb and then where the cable comes through your outside wall make sure there is sufficient slack to make a droop loop so water is not travelling down the cable when it rains etc

Thusly:
And make sure the hole around the cable is sealed as above - water can come down the outside of the cable too

WD40 will help remove the rust, yes, spray a little on and give it a scrub with a wire brush.
When it's cleaned up, use a soft cloth with a little WD40 on it to clean off any residue of rust/corrosion.
Then dry it with tissue and try the sat cable in the box and see if it scans for channels

I would not use wd40 on internal parts possibly ok on external. Something like this for internal or contacts ... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200ML-EL...758097?hash=item212f41bcd1:g:jwsAAOSwubZZ62ry

Not sure if they are plug n play or soldered in with this box or not.
Someone else on the forum may know

Yeah may have done futher damage on circuit board etc water and electrical components dont seem to like each other
Won’t let me upload image. I’ve had a look inside the box and all seems ok no signs of water damage. And box is working well no issues other then no sat signal. Tuner seems to be soldered in place. Only issue I can think off is the water damage spreading later on to other components. that’s why I was thinking off either taking the tuner out or replacing it with another one.

Both Iptv and cable are working perfectly.

sweet baby jesus.
The centre hole that takes the copper wire is completely corroded - did you try to clear this out with a pin? - it takes 2 minutes - this is where the good stuff comes in.
The outer thread looks fine to me - until this centre hole is cleared, the sat tuner won't work, it's completely clogged with shite, the centre copper wire in the coax/cable/sat line is the bringer of swag, the rest is not as important - i've used a kryptview cable box connected to just the centre copper core - no outer connected at all
