I'm going to get flamed for this, but I once used a DirecTV dish through a window in a similar scenario.

actually through window/door is very common. comes in handy when you don't plan to stay in one place very long.

Is this forum for techno nerds only? The only dumb question is the one you never ask. Please don't be rude to people who aren't as educated on the subject as yourselves. "John"

You make a valid point but the solution is not attacking those seeking knowledge. This guy didn't know so he found this forum and asked the question.

Someone has reason to be proud and someone else doesn't.

I am not attacking anyone.. I am posting form experience.
I am getting frustrated because some customers believe they have no repsonsibilties whatsoever.
As for the guy who askes about the north facing sat location. He's fine..It's just a question that gave us a chuckle.
see ya.

I understand. Really. I guess what struck me was that I had a notion that these forums were to educate the rubes(like me). A lot if the posts in this thread were way inside the biz.

You've heard how cops always have their own "cop bar" where they can discuss the "dirtbags" they deal with. No presumption of innocence there. That's why they limit those conversations to where they're not likely heard by the citizens they protect and serve.

Maybe the bosses here should consider a "professionals only" forum where you all can vent.

One of the things I did a long time ago was to prepare personal income taxes. One reason I quit was how gross the average taxpayer was. I'd rather wash their underpants than hear their sleazy ideas of how to cheat the IRS. Or their stupid schemes of how they could pull something and "never get caught". After work a lot of us would swap stories of the sleazes that came through the door. I would think if you went to forum for tax advice you'd be horrified at the stories we told.

All in all I over-reacted.

I've hidden a dish inside a plastic trash can on a balcony at work from time to time.
