Why Macclesfield reception varies house to house
Macclesfield roofs are often among the trees, which also means gutters full of leaves and moss on the south side. Cable routed along a gutter sits wet for weeks. We route it clear of gutters and seal every entry point.

The signal's route to Macclesfield
Draw a line from Macclesfield toward Mt Dandenong at 295° and it crosses Monbulk and Olinda before reaching the transmitter 12 km away.
Practical tip: stand where your antenna is and face west-north-west. 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.
The right antenna for Macclesfield
After a big storm in Macclesfield we often find antennas that look fine from the ground but have turned on the mast. A quick meter check confirms it.

Macclesfield: quick answers
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.
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.
Can you run TV to my studio further down the slope?
Yes — from the main antenna, with low-loss cable and an amplifier if needed.
