yo people. i am new member and know nothing about satellite tv as yet. have just bought some cheap kit off ebay. it has not arrived yet, but i gather it does not come with cable, f connectors ...
i have a bizarre newbie question: can i put the dish inside a south facing window? or would the glass be too much of an obstruction?

Hi and welcome, Your in the best place for advise 8)

It is possible to get signal through glass

You can certainly give it a go. Results will depend on many factors, but the main one is the thickness and composition of the glass itself.

Let us know how you get on

And welcome to the forum m8.
