Terrain and TV in Mount Dandenong
Mt Dandenong is close to Mount Dandenong, but close is not the same as visible. Ridgelines, gullies and tall timber mean the strongest signal may arrive from an unexpected direction, reflected off a nearby slope. We sweep the antenna on the meter rather than assuming the map bearing.

Mount Dandenong to Mt Dandenong: the path
The 1.0 km path from Mount Dandenong to Mt Dandenong at 36° crosses open country, water or areas outside the suburbs we list, so local obstructions near your roof matter more than anything along the way.
The compass bearing (36°) is where we start. The final aim comes from the meter, which shows the strongest, cleanest lock on every channel.
How we install in Mount Dandenong
Second dwellings and studios on sloping Mount Dandenong blocks often sit lower than the house. We feed them from the main antenna with low-loss cable rather than fitting a second, poorly placed antenna.

Questions from Mount Dandenong customers
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.
Do you fix storm and lightning damage?
Yes — blown amplifiers, bent elements and damaged cable are common after storms. We carry replacements and check every TV before leaving.
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.
