Endeavour Hills's signal path
Solar installations are a common trigger in Endeavour Hills. Installers walk the roof, nudge the antenna or reroute the cable, and channels start dropping out a week later. If your reception changed after solar went in, that is the first thing we check.

What lies between Endeavour Hills and Mt Dandenong
Between Endeavour Hills and Mt Dandenong lie Lysterfield, Upper Ferntree Gully, Tremont, Ferny Creek and Mount Dandenong. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 18 km line affects what your antenna receives.
When we aim a Endeavour Hills antenna we start at 26° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.
Typical Endeavour Hills homes and what fails
Around Endeavour Hills the housing is mostly brick veneer and weatherboard family homes, with a growing number of units and townhouses on subdivided blocks. The original antennas are often still up. They hold together for years, then the balun corrodes or a dipole cracks and the picture starts breaking up on one network first.
What usually goes wrong in Endeavour Hills
- Original antenna with a corroded balun or cracked elements
- New double-storey neighbours blocking the path
- Too many TV points on unpowered splitters

Endeavour Hills antenna questions
Why do I lose channels in Endeavour Hills when it rains?
Almost always water: in an unsealed cable join, a cracked balun or a split cable jacket. Rain changes the cable's properties and the weakest link fails first. We find the wet point with a meter and replace it with sealed fittings.
Which way should my Endeavour Hills antenna point?
Toward Mt Dandenong, about 26° (north-north-east) and 18 km away, horizontally polarised on VHF. We aim with a meter, not by copying the neighbours.
My neighbour built a second storey and now my TV pixelates — can that be fixed?
Usually, yes. Raising the antenna on a taller mast, or moving it to a corner of the roof with a clear view, restores the path. We meter a few positions before committing.
