Deer Park's signal path
Signal into Deer Park comes from the east, about 51 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.

Between Deer Park and Mt Dandenong lie Ardeer, Flemington, Carlton, Abbotsford, Mont Albert, Laburnum and Heathwood. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 51 km line affects what your antenna receives.
When we aim a Deer Park antenna we start at 98° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.
Typical Deer Park homes and what fails
Granny flats and backyard studios are increasingly common in Deer Park. 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 Deer Park

Deer Park antenna questions
Which way should my Deer Park antenna point?
Toward Mt Dandenong, about 98° (east) and 51 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.
