Try, some glass is OK, some not. If you could open the window temporary, then it will works for sure. No mesh screen !

Put it outside, through glass is a bad idea.

No The window is not openable at all

I was thinking on the sidewalk but someone will take it or damage it... but then again i would need to string the satelllite line through the store entrance door
we cant let the door be open all the time because it will be cold outside (only 10 degress) ... and cant let people slamming the door shot whenever they walk in because it will damage the satellite line cable..

Try and tell us.

it won't be steady if you can get it at all. I tried this 8 years ago.

The Dishstore has DTV dishes for $22, who cares if it gets damaged or stolen!

It means you need a clear line of site to the satellite The dish receives from all surface then concentrates on your LNB. If your dish is not fully exposed to the signal, it stands to be weaker.
