The house has a cable behind the detached garage that connects into
the in-house cables. But my satellite dish is big and can't be placed
near the garage (besides, that area is partially blocked by another
house). I could use a long cable to connect the dish from its current
location to the cable behind the garage. But for now I pass the dish
cable into the house through the nearby window but the window can't be
fully closed. What's your suggestion?

Bust out the glasss with a brick just throw it through, or use a
hammer, or gun, use cardboard an duk tape to seel her good, or drill a
hole down low, or drill a hole and get an exterior mount jack plate,
an interior one and seal the hole with foam, so here you have the
hillbilly, hack, and proper way, pick what you like, or tape up yr
windo and be done.

Disregard Ransley, he is obviously having a worse than normal day.
Make a whole in some part of the house to bring the cable inside. Be
sure to use a drip loop to keep rain water from going into the hole.
Caulk the hole so that air and water and criters do not come in with
the cable. GET A NEIGHBOR WHO KNOWS ABOUT THESE THINGS TO HELP YOU.

No, Ransley's ideas are great! Using the gun would be the most
prudent method. One well placed bullet would provide the path to get
the cable to several rooms at once. Just make sure someone is at the
other end sighting you in...
