Why Clematis reception varies house to house
Clematis 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.

Distances and bearings are calculated from the centre of Clematis; 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 Clematis
Draw a line from Clematis toward Mt Dandenong at 329° and it crosses Kallista, The Patch, Olinda and Mount Dandenong before reaching the transmitter 13 km away.
The shorter path to the Selby repeater (4.2 km at 299°) runs over Menzies Creek.
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.
The right antenna for Clematis
After a big storm in Clematis we often find antennas that look fine from the ground but have turned on the mast. A quick meter check confirms it.
Common Clematis call-outs

Clematis: 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.
