    The signal is drastically reduced by glass and 100% by walls so the chance of success is low. Try your existing dish inside, pointing through a window at the satellite cluster. Alignment is very critical so you can't simply guess it. Also, glass tends to "bend" the microwave signal slightly so the angle may not be quite what it was outside.

    In order to get enough signal through glass, the dish will probably need to be larger. You can buy 60cm and 80cm transparent dishes (not cheap), which won't block as much daylight.

    (Forget the Multimo. It won't be big enough.)

    Do you have south facing balcony? If so,mount the dish in on the balcony out of sight and away you go.I've seen this done before and dish is almost invisible to outside eyes.Simply bolt the bracket to the balcony floor and use a straight pole to hold the dish and away you go.
