That was back when all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.

Since then the general population has gotten progressively stupider.

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.
