From our job notes
Hoppers Crossing
Hoppers Crossing's 1980s–90s homes often have original antennas that are now marginal for the distance to Mt Dandenong. Replacing them with a higher-gain antenna fixes most dropout complaints.
Corroded connectors and too many TVs on cheap splitters are the other common faults.
The builder-antenna problem in Hoppers Crossing
Estate covenants in Hoppers Crossing sometimes restrict where an antenna can go. A mast at the rear of the roof often satisfies the covenant and gets a better view toward Mt Dandenong than the builder's gable position anyway.

Distances and bearings are calculated from the centre of Hoppers Crossing; 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 Hoppers Crossing
Draw a line from Hoppers Crossing toward Mt Dandenong at 87° and it crosses Williams Landing, Williamstown, Windsor, Malvern, Bennettswood, Forest Hill and Heathmont before reaching the transmitter 58 km away.
Practical tip: stand where your antenna is and face east. 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.
What we install in Hoppers Crossing
Second-storey additions and loft conversions are starting to appear in Hoppers Crossing. If a neighbour's build has cut your path, we meter alternative positions on your roof before recommending a taller mast.

Hoppers Crossing: quick answers
Which direction should a Hoppers Crossing antenna face?
Toward Mt Dandenong: about 87° (east), 58 km away, VHF with horizontal polarisation.
Does my estate covenant restrict the antenna?
Some do. A rear-of-roof mast usually complies and often performs better than the builder position.
My Foxtel and free-to-air both dropped out — why?
They may share one cable through a diplexer that has failed. We test and replace it, or separate the services.
