[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 999318, member: 369937"] I cases where the dish had to be inside and looking through a window, we would replace the window glass with plexiglass, it is transparent to 5 to 12 GHz microwaves. Most modern windows that are dual pane have an IR rejection coating on them, this is a micron thin metal coating, the microwaves used for satellite signals do not like this coating. Also some very old window glass gave us a problem, found out that the glass had lead in it, made for all sorts of problems when we tried to get permission to replace the glass with plexy, it was a historical building, we had to save the old piece of glass and promised to replace it if the satellite dish was to be removed, so far no calls to do so. So if your in and old building check the glass to see if you have some ripples in it, this could be the very old style glass, and may have a lead content. [/QUOTE]
