Glass does affect signal, though.

Composition of glass, angle of attack of dish etc. all really need to be assessed empirically. Nothing is certain.

And especially so with such a small dish.

Please tell us why you appear limited in what you can do - why can you not put a 60 or 80cm dish outside?

Glass does affect microwave signals mate, you need about double the size class of dish for the same sat thru just a normal sheet of glass let alone anything else, i.e. double glazing etc.

A zone 2 is about a 60cm in size.

You cant get a monoblock that does 19E & 28E mate, but you can get both with a mod on a Zone 2 $ky dish, I have done this & it works well, I have photos on here of the setup.

Wrong there is now an adjustable 4 to 12 degree monoblock available fromn southern satellite and sateuropa and others - this one _http://www.wsidigital.com/ESX-LINEAR-LNB-LNBF/Ku-Band-LNBF/ESX521U-AM-Adjustable-4-12-degree-Monoblock-Ku-Universal-LNBF.htm
