hi for the time being im stuck in an apt where i cant mount a dish anywhere, just wondering if these newer slimline 3 LNB dishes signal can go through a window or some sort of plastic? Im on dishnetwork, no hd, and the signal doesn't go through the window but does a piece of white kinda cheap plexiglass, which i have in place with the window open for year on an old dish 500.
Can the receiver signal go through a window?

Can it be done ?
Sure, I've done it in temp. situations.
Set up the dish inside and you'll be surprised !
of course you need a clear view of the sky in the right direction and a large enough window ...
Alot has to do with the window and a possible screen, if it's a metal screen, remove it if possible.
as for the Dish 500, I can't help you on that one.
The type of glass is a factor,also. Signals won't pass through some types with enough strength.
IIRC, and I might not
, the more lead in the glass the less likely it is that you can get enough signal strength through it.- Status
