Why new Lyndhurst homes struggle with TV reception
Wind across open Lyndhurst 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.

Lyndhurst to Mt Dandenong: the path
Signal from Mt Dandenong travels 28 km to reach Lyndhurst, passing over Lynbrook (2.4 km out), Hallam (7.6 km out), Lysterfield (16 km out), Upper Ferntree Gully (20 km out), Tremont (22 km out), Ferny Creek (23 km out) and Mount Dandenong (27 km out) on the way.
The compass bearing (20°) is where we start. The final aim comes from the meter, which shows the strongest, cleanest lock on every channel.
The Lyndhurst fix
Wi-Fi routers, NBN boxes and smart-home hubs often end up in the same cupboard as the TV splitter in new Lyndhurst homes. Poorly shielded splitters pick up their interference; a quality shielded unit fixes it.
Faults we fix most in Lyndhurst
- Pre-wired outlets never connected in the roof cavity
- New two-storey homes blocking the path

Questions from Lyndhurst customers
Which direction should a Lyndhurst antenna face?
Toward Mt Dandenong: about 20° (north-north-east), 28 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.
