Satellite thru window

[bluezbear]

Are there any problems putting my dish inside my apartment behind a window.
Will that attenuate the signal a lot?

I don't want to use Charter Comm.

Thanks

I am not a tech and I can not speak about Dish network, but I think that it depends on your windows. I had my Sirius antenna inside my house pointing through one of my windows and I had no problems with reception. I replaced the window with one of those super R value double pane energy efficient windows with argon gas between - no more signal - absolutely none.

i live in a apt with sliding widnows with screens on them. Does this help. I'd like hope it would work so i can watch dish again.

your far enough south that the look angel might be too high. try right next to the window and below it picture the signal coming from about a 45deg angel of the reflector. i have seen other threads about this do a search for them. i have seen suction cup mounts and window frame mounts. I'll check for a link.

Most window glass will attenuate the signal, the succesful posts replace the glass with plastic.
