What Jeetho properties need
Jeetho properties sometimes sit in a hollow with the house below the paddock line. Raising the antenna on a taller mast or moving it to a pole on higher ground can turn a marginal signal into a solid one.

Calculated from Jeetho's centre point using ACMA transmitter locations. On the day we confirm the best source with a calibrated meter at your roofline.
What lies between Jeetho and Mt Dandenong
Between Jeetho and Mt Dandenong lie Bellview, Loch, Bayles, Clematis, Menzies Creek and The Patch. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 72 km line affects what your antenna receives.
The alternative, Mt Tassie, is 73 km away at 89° (east) — almost a different direction entirely, so the antenna can only favour one.
When we aim a Jeetho antenna we start at 333° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.
How we set up Jeetho systems
For Jeetho we usually recommend a long-range high-gain VHF/UHF combination antenna on a tall, guyed mast, with a masthead amplifier only if the meter calls for one. If the house sits below a rise, a taller mast or a pole mount away from the house can make the difference. We aim with a meter, check every channel and leave the readings with you.
What usually goes wrong in Jeetho
- Long cable runs to outbuildings losing signal
- Corroded joins on old outdoor cable
- Lightning-damaged amplifiers on exposed sites

Jeetho antenna questions
Which transmitter does Jeetho use?
Most properties aim at Mt Dandenong, 72 km away at about 333° (north-north-west), VHF horizontal. Mt Tassie (73 km, UHF) is the alternative on some blocks. We meter both where relevant.
Can you run TV to my shed or granny flat?
Yes. We split the signal properly at the house, run low-loss cable to the outbuilding and add an amplifier if the distance needs it.
Do I need a taller mast?
If a rise, tree line or building sits in the path, often yes. We test at different heights before recommending one.
