Why Arthurs Seat reception varies house to house
Arthurs Seat roofs are often among the trees, which also means gutters full of leaves and moss on the south side. Cable routed along a gutter sits wet for weeks. We route it clear of gutters and seal every entry point.

The signal's route to Arthurs Seat
Draw a line from Arthurs Seat toward Mt Dandenong at 31° and it crosses Safety Beach, Mornington, Belvedere Park, Dandenong South, Lysterfield South, Tremont and The Basin before reaching the transmitter 67 km away.
The path to the Arthurs Seat repeater is only 0.3 km, bearing 201° (south-south-west).
Practical tip: stand where your antenna is and face north-north-east. If you can see a big tree, a new two-storey house or a hill within a few hundred metres, that is the first suspect.
The right antenna for Arthurs Seat
After a big storm in Arthurs Seat we often find antennas that look fine from the ground but have turned on the mast. A quick meter check confirms it.

Arthurs Seat: quick answers
My neighbour gets a perfect picture — why don't I?
In hilly areas a few metres of elevation or a single tree can change everything. Your neighbour may be pointing at a different transmitter or have a clearer path. We meter from your roof specifically.
Is satellite TV better in the hills?
Only at addresses where no terrestrial signal can be received. We meter every option first, because terrestrial is free and usually works.
Can you run TV to my studio further down the slope?
Yes — from the main antenna, with low-loss cable and an amplifier if needed.
