Reading the hills around Lysterfield South
Trees grow; antennas don't. A lot of Lysterfield South installs worked when they went up and have slowly degraded as the canopy closed in. Raising the antenna on a taller mast, or moving it to the other side of the roof, often restores a path that has been fading for years.

Lysterfield South antenna questions
Why is my picture worse in winter or after rain?
Wet leaves absorb signal. If trees are near your antenna's path, rain makes the loss worse. Raising the antenna or moving it usually fixes it.
Is satellite TV better in the hills?
Only at addresses where no terrestrial signal can be received. We meter every option first, because terrestrial is free and usually works.
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.
