[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 628088, member: 323322"] There are no guarantees with indoor dishes, I'm afraid. Apart from the obvious point that you may not be able to make use of one which is big enough to secure reception, success depends upon all sorts of other factors. eg If firing through glass, then the angle of attack is important, as is the composition of the glass, in determining how much of any available signal is transmitted through it but also to what extent it may lose coherence. I see you are actually firing through an open window, but even though that may work for Satellites that you have an unimpeded line of sight for, the available arc is always going to be restricted somewhat - by the confines and orientation of the opening. That's probably why no Hotbird. As for disguised antenna, the downside is of course that they can never be as efficient as true parabolic dishes. So even if you can find something that can remain undetected on the outside of your apartment, it may not perform well, especially in the directionn required for Hotbird. Now I do hope someone in an optimistic frame of mind will Post something a little more hopeful for you! [/QUOTE]
