I have a unfurnished attic, which has windows behind which I'd like to mount my DirecTV dish. I could position it to dial into the satellite just as if it were on the outside. But I cannot find out if this would work (I called DirecTV and Weaknees, but neither could tell me anything).
Anybody know?
Thanksn.

ever seen. The one all alone (poor thing) in her living room with her new flat screen. Nothing flat about it.
Thank you,

I would think that the Direct TV signal should penetrate through the roof or the window glass -- after all it had to penetrate several miles of atmosphere to get to your roof.
So I'd think it's probably worth a try. The worst that can happen is that you spend a couple of hours setting it up and find that the signal is too weak. I suspect no one would have a definitive answer for you. Trial and error may be your best strategy.
in your roof and no threats of wind damage. Keep us posted.
No ugly dish mounted on your house! It's the main reason I have digital cable instead of satellite.
I'd think this inside the window idea should work, but I wonder if diffractions from the glass (particularly if it's that old style wavy glass) would mess things up. Or if there's a divider on the window (for a slider for example), if something that small can do harm.
Great idea, hopefully for others in similar circumstances he can post results in a new post.
pretty restrictive including no RV parking, no shade tree mechanics, no outside storage buildings and no television or radio antennas or large satellite dishes. To comply with the FCC they do allow DBS dishes. Mine is mounted so it isn't visible from the street. I would prefer not to have it at all.
Instead I just live the hood. :)
OK, it's not too bad, but the people right across the street have had an enclosed trailer parked on their front lawn for, hmm, 3 years now. I'd love no RV parking, shade tree mechanics, storage buildings, etc. PLEASE.
No storage buildings on my street, but I think we have the rest covered! Grrr. :)
