Why new Fraser Rise homes struggle with TV reception
Wind across open Fraser Rise estates is stronger than in established suburbs because there are no mature trees to break it. Light builder masts flex enough to throw a distant signal off; a heavier mast and proper bracket keep the aim steady.

Fraser Rise to Mt Dandenong: the path
Signal from Mt Dandenong travels 58 km to reach Fraser Rise, passing over Taylors Hill (3.6 km out), Keilor East (13 km out), Pascoe Vale South (20 km out), Thornbury (27 km out), Mitcham North (43 km out) and Ringwood East (49 km out) on the way.
The compass bearing (105°) is where we start. The final aim comes from the meter, which shows the strongest, cleanest lock on every channel.
The Fraser Rise fix
Wi-Fi routers, NBN boxes and smart-home hubs often end up in the same cupboard as the TV splitter in new Fraser Rise homes. Poorly shielded splitters pick up their interference; a quality shielded unit fixes it.
Faults we fix most in Fraser Rise
- Pre-wired outlets never connected in the roof cavity

Questions from Fraser Rise customers
Which direction should a Fraser Rise antenna face?
Toward Mt Dandenong: about 105° (east-south-east), 58 km away, VHF with horizontal polarisation.
Some rooms work and others don't — why?
In new homes this is usually pre-wired outlets that were never connected, or connected with push-on fittings that have worked loose. We test every outlet and terminate them properly.
Can you connect the outlets the builder left unconnected?
Yes — we find every pre-wired cable in the roof cavity, terminate it with compression connectors and test each outlet.
