What Mountain View properties need
Mountain View properties sometimes sit in a hollow with the house below the paddock line. Raising the antenna on a taller mast or moving it to a pole on higher ground can turn a marginal signal into a solid one.

What lies between Mountain View and Mt Tassie
Between Mountain View and Mt Tassie lie Ferndale, Thorpdale South, Yinnar South and Jumbuk. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 63 km line affects what your antenna receives.
The alternative, Mt Dandenong, is 68 km away at 319° (north-west) — almost a different direction entirely, so the antenna can only favour one.
When we aim a Mountain View antenna we start at 101° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.
How we set up Mountain View systems
For Mountain View we usually recommend a high-gain UHF antenna mounted horizontally on a mast that clears the ridge. If the house sits below a rise, a taller mast or a pole mount away from the house can make the difference. We aim with a meter, check every channel and leave the readings with you.
What usually goes wrong in Mountain View
- Long cable runs to outbuildings losing signal
- Corroded joins on old outdoor cable
- Lightning-damaged amplifiers on exposed sites

Mountain View antenna questions
Which transmitter does Mountain View use?
Most properties aim at Mt Tassie, 63 km away at about 101° (east), UHF horizontal. Mt Dandenong (68 km, VHF) is the alternative on some blocks. We meter both where relevant.
Can you run TV to my shed or granny flat?
Yes. We split the signal properly at the house, run low-loss cable to the outbuilding and add an amplifier if the distance needs it.
Do I need a taller mast?
If a rise, tree line or building sits in the path, often yes. We test at different heights before recommending one.
