Terrain and TV in Guys Hill
Mt Dandenong is close to Guys Hill, but close is not the same as visible. Ridgelines, gullies and tall timber mean the strongest signal may arrive from an unexpected direction, reflected off a nearby slope. We sweep the antenna on the meter rather than assuming the map bearing.

Guys Hill to Mt Dandenong: the path
Signal from Mt Dandenong travels 21 km to reach Guys Hill, passing over Narre Warren East (6.4 km out), Selby (11 km out), Belgrave (12 km out), Sherbrooke (13 km out), Sassafras (17 km out) and Mount Dandenong (20 km out) on the way.

How we install in Guys Hill
Second dwellings and studios on sloping Guys Hill blocks often sit lower than the house. We feed them from the main antenna with low-loss cable rather than fitting a second, poorly placed antenna.
Faults we fix most in Guys Hill

Questions from Guys Hill customers
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.
Do you fix storm and lightning damage?
Yes — blown amplifiers, bent elements and damaged cable are common after storms. We carry replacements and check every TV before leaving.
Does height always help?
Only if it gives a clearer view toward the transmitter. On the wrong side of a ridge, a different site often beats a taller mast.
