Yes, and the people I know that have done it are either putting their dish on the ground or putting it on a roof or ladder mount when they want to use it.

There's a Facebook group called starlink ESIM or something where people are doing more advanced lie-flat installations.


On the second generation rectangular cpe, there is a certain spot where if you drill a circular hole on the rear using a hole saw, you can reach in with non-conductive tweezers and unplug the cables going to the azimuth and elevation motors.
