dish behind the window

I tried it when I lived in a high rise, I got a tiny bit of signal but not enough to lock. I think the glass was treated.
 
Not me.
 
guaranteed no water ingress
 
That is a big advantage.
 
That too
 
No planning permission needed for bigger dish though gigantic window needed
 
Window is 1.30 by 1.30.
I thought to myself, why do I try the dish is not behind the window, and yes signal .fine to watch TV.(canal digital)
 
As long as it's not anti-UV double pane glass it should work fine.

The anti-UV glass has a very very very fine metal coating on it, (you can't see it) the 11 to 12 GHz signals coming down from the satellites don't like it too much.
 
why do the leaves of the trees and shrubs stop the signal, and for example; not a curtain of cloth.
 
okay, but still strange.
On the internet you read that there should be nothing between the dish and the satellite. That the dish must see the satellite, as it were
 
Part of my installation...

the Pic 3 (outside) Philips dish looks interesting,with 2 reflectors a small & a large one.
Does this double reflection increase signal much?
and what 's that type of dish called?

I drove past the old SPECTRUM shop in Selsdon yesterday.
It is now a Kitchen and Bathroom appliances shop but the old Grundig 1.2m Gregorian dish dish from the SPECTRUM days still seemed to be on the wall.
I did not get the chance to get a good look at it as the shop is on the corner of a junction and the traffic lights were changing so I nipped through without having a good look.
 
Two Fibo 90 cm.
The first connected to tuner 2 of octagon SF 4008 (tuner 1 disecq 16/1 from internal dish 13 LNB)
The second Fibo is for test witn DVB card TBS 5520SE or Edision Mio 4K.
