Why Belgrave Heights reception varies house to house
Belgrave Heights 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 Belgrave Heights
Draw a line from Belgrave Heights toward Mt Dandenong at 4° and it crosses Tecoma, Upwey, Sassafras and Mount Dandenong before reaching the transmitter 9.8 km away.
The shorter path to the Upwey repeater (2.5 km at 325°) runs over Upwey.
Practical tip: stand where your antenna is and face north. 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 Belgrave Heights
After a big storm in Belgrave Heights we often find antennas that look fine from the ground but have turned on the mast. A quick meter check confirms it.

Belgrave Heights: 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.
