The first version of DirecTV was self install, I know because I did it.
They had many many thousands of successful self installs the first two
years with just a flashing led to guide you. They are planning on
having the CPE's integrated into the roofs of Tesla cars in the future.
They aren't joking about making this easy and they are great at
thinking outside the pizza box. Our runway is getting shorter...

The CPE end is fixed, in that the antenna is mounted, and doesn't move.
Unless it's something that you can throw on a desk and plug into an
outlet, self install simply isn't realistic.
Dish Network offered a self install option early on (back when they were
only using a single satellite, and it was relatively simple)... they
gave up on that pretty quickly. Heck, we even had a self install option
when we first started doing fixed wireless. It didn't take long to learn
a lot of reasons why that's a bad idea.

Ground to LEO isn't fixed wireless. The "tower" is moving and the
client is roaming.

Customer installed fixed wireless doesn't work well. I'm sure
they'll figure this out too late, I still don't understand why
big companies refuse to learn from other's mistakes.
