[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 109160, member: 176256"] Tweety is the bird that Sylvester wants to eat - I think you mean Sweety!! Anyway, the Sweety is supposed to have better performance than a normal dish of that size as it uses the secondary reflector principle to get extra gain (it's similar to a Gregorian dish but for the life of me I can't think of the correct name). Unfortunately the dish is very small to start of with and even with this extra gain it's only equivalent to a middling to small standard dish of about 60cm. I believe that there is a larger version which might be better. Reception through a window is possible but difficult. Change the glass to polycarbonate, an RF transparent material, and you might get away with a standard dish. Leave the glass and you'll need a larger dish than standard. If it's double glazed probably best to forget about it. PaulR [/QUOTE]
