Digital coaxial cable = bollards. Sounds like the same guff that went round about "digital aerials" when Freeview was being rolled out. A piece of coax run into the roof space will have been put there for terrestrial reception and I wouldnt rely on it for satellite unless there is already a dish attached to the other end of it. I don't think a satellite installer will. A Sky employee certainly won't, unless you have booked an install-at-height team they won't go anywhere near your roof.
