What the signal looks like in Mill Park
Wind is the slow killer in Mill Park. A light mast flexes, the clamp loosens a little each storm, and over a few years the antenna drifts several degrees off 127°. Reception gets worse gradually until one day a network vanishes. Re-aiming with a meter and tightening the clamps fixes it in minutes.

The signal's route to Mill Park
Draw a line from Mill Park toward Mt Dandenong at 127° and it crosses Eltham, Warrandyte South, Warranwood, Croydon Hills and Croydon before reaching the transmitter 31 km away.
Practical tip: stand where your antenna is and face south-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.

Mill Park: quick answers
My neighbour built a second storey and now my TV pixelates — can that be fixed?
Usually, yes. Raising the antenna on a taller mast, or moving it to a corner of the roof with a clear view, restores the path. We meter a few positions before committing.
My TV reception changed after solar panels went in — why?
Installers often bump the antenna or disturb the cable. Inverters can also radiate interference into old cable. We check alignment, cable and noise.
Can you feed TV to my granny flat?
Yes — we split the signal properly at the house and run new cable, adding an amplifier only if the distance needs it.
