New dish installation, without tech's entering home?

[Sneeky]

Hi

My dish disintegrated from rust etc.
Considering Covid, Is it possible for DSTV techies to instal a new one without entering the home, so basically just mount a new dish, set it up with their meters and go?

Thanks

If your cabling look anything like this it will have to be replaced as well which mean they will have to enter your home

Just let them do their stuff and afterwards spray the surfaces they've touched (remote for instance) with a sanitizer if you want. It's the same as your garbage bin... just clean the hands and bin after you've retrieved it from the sidewalk

All sorted, was no issue.

What did they replace? Asking for a friend.
What type and model LNB did they install?

Installed a new dish as the other one fell to pieces. The same lnb was used (smart for explora)

Did they need to go into your house or not?

No home entry was required as all the cables and everything were already in place.
All they did was fit the new dish outside on the existing mount, do the alignment with their meter gizmo and left.
