There are many cases where self-installation of a satellite dish or satellite system is better, easier and cheaper than calling a professional installer. You could be doing a self-installation of a satellite dish for FTA satellites or pay-tv subscription TV satellites from scratch, or you may need to re-align your dish because heavy winds on a stormy day blew off your dish causing a misalignment.
