The Bellview signal: distance and open country
On a Bellview block the TV may be 40 metres or more from the antenna, with a shed or second dwelling further again. Every metre of cable loses signal, and cheap RG59 loses a lot. We use low-loss RG6, keep runs as short as the layout allows and add a distribution amplifier where several outlets share the signal.

Distances and bearings are calculated from the centre of Bellview; your roof may differ by a few degrees. Repeaters are low-power and directional, so we always confirm with a meter on site.
The signal's route to Bellview
Draw a line from Bellview toward Mt Dandenong at 333° and it crosses Bayles, Koo Wee Rup North, Clematis and Menzies Creek before reaching the transmitter 68 km away.
The alternative, Mt Tassie, is 76 km away at 92° (east) — almost a different direction entirely, so the antenna can only favour one.
Practical tip: stand where your antenna is and face north-north-west. 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.
A Bellview install, done properly
On larger Bellview properties we sometimes install the antenna on a pole in the clear and run cable underground to the house. It costs more than a roof mount but solves stubborn reception problems.
Common Bellview call-outs
- Long cable runs to outbuildings losing signal
- Antenna too small for the distance
- Mast too short to clear a rise or tree line

Bellview: quick answers
Do I need a taller mast?
If a rise, tree line or building sits in the path, often yes. We test at different heights before recommending one.
Can you mount the antenna on a pole instead of the roof?
Yes — a pole mount in a clear spot with cable run to the house is a good option on larger blocks.
Why has my reception faded over the years?
Often a windbreak or tree line has grown into the path. Raising the antenna or moving it usually restores it.
