Indoor Dish Installation Experiment

NetStar · #1 (**permalink**) 04-14-2003, 09:56 AM

Hello,
I have a Dish Network system installed indoor looking at 110 West. The
dish is looking through glass and my signal strength is around 70-80.
The Dish is an oval shape 22"x20", it's a Dish 500. My window glass
size is 32" from corner to corner, and is facing west. I live in NYC.
Would it be possible to receive a Telstar 5 signal if I have an FTA
receiver and a 30" dish?
I mean if I succeeded to receive the Echostar signal in the 70's range
through glass, is it possible to receive the telstar 5 signal?
Here is a link with some photos to visualize it for you.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

From your location the Angle to T5 is at 229 (SW). If you can get a clear line of sight at this angle through your window, then you should be ok. Notice that T5 is a much weaker signal than DISH.

The webpage has some photos explaining the angles. The dish network in the photos is looking at 110 west.
