Satellite inside apt?

Hi i live in an apt and want to know if i can install a satellite inside my apt. I have read a lot of responses to this question, and the problem is the answers are entirely inconclusive. So I thought well then let me ask my own question then, so here it goes. Like everyone else my landlord won't allow the dish so this is why i'm resorting to these measures. Okay so, I have two very large southern facing windows. I live in New York City. I live on what could best be considered a ground floor apt even though it's a little over a half-flight off the ground. There are no tress around, but there are buildings directly across the street my building. They are short-story buildings, only about six or seven stories high. some of the things i have read on here say that the dish will work as long as the windows are plexigl, but I have no idea what the windows currently are. I will make an umption that they are prob single-pane windows. Okay so what do ya'll say?? will it work or won't it. I called the direct t.v people and they said something about poss using a pole or a tripod to mount it, I don' care what they use as long as it works. Also, cuz it's inside the apt, does it have to be a really big satellite??? Thanks Peace
