From our job notes
Bulleen
Bulleen has a clear path to Mt Dandenong, so faults are mostly hardware: old antennas, corroded baluns and splitters. Newer townhouses are blocking some single-storey neighbours.
We meter before quoting so you know whether it is a cable fix or a new antenna.
Bulleen's signal path
Signal into Bulleen comes from the east-south-east, about 24 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.

What lies between Bulleen and Mt Dandenong
Between Bulleen and Mt Dandenong lie Templestowe Lower, Donvale, Ringwood North, Ringwood East and Bayswater North. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 24 km line affects what your antenna receives.
When we aim a Bulleen antenna we start at 109° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.
Typical Bulleen homes and what fails
Granny flats and backyard studios are increasingly common in Bulleen. Feeding them from the main antenna is easy if the signal is split properly at the house — not with a spare two-way splitter in the roof space.
What usually goes wrong in Bulleen
- Water in a cable join at the mast or eaves
- New double-storey neighbours blocking the path
- Amplifier fitted years ago that has started to fail

Bulleen antenna questions
Which way should my Bulleen antenna point?
Toward Mt Dandenong, about 109° (east-south-east) and 24 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.
