Broadmeadows's signal path
Signal into Broadmeadows comes from the east-south-east, about 41 km away at Mt Dandenong. The path is mostly clear across established suburbs, so reception problems here tend to be about ageing hardware rather than geography. That is good news: it usually means a repair, not a new antenna.

Broadmeadows antenna questions
Which way should my Broadmeadows antenna point?
Toward Mt Dandenong, about 114° (east-south-east) and 41 km away, horizontally polarised on VHF. We aim with a meter, not by copying the neighbours.
My TV reception changed after solar panels went in — why?
Installers often bump the antenna or disturb the cable. Inverters can also radiate interference into old cable. We check alignment, cable and noise.
Do you work for property managers?
Yes. We meet tenants on site, send photos and meter readings, and quote at a fixed price.
