I have never done it personally.. But I have heard of people in New York doing. Can't see why it would matter has long has it was a flat glass.. If it was curved I could see it causing problems..

I think if its dual pane it wont work. So I have heard.

Correct, I too have heard double pane usually won't work. I did, though, sucessfully install my dish indoors while living in Chicago. Balcony faced the wrong way, I had my dish in my dining room, with a regular old window (ca. 1980s) in front of it. Worked fine! Oddly enough, my wife didn't appreciate it as much as I did.
