Mulgrave's signal path
Signal into Mulgrave comes from the north-east, about 18 km away at Mt Dandenong. The path is mostly clear across established suburbs, so reception problems here tend to be about ageing hardware rather than geography. That is good news: it usually means a repair, not a new antenna.

What lies between Mulgrave and Mt Dandenong

When we aim a Mulgrave antenna we start at 56° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.
Typical Mulgrave homes and what fails
Granny flats and backyard studios are increasingly common in Mulgrave. Feeding them from the main antenna is easy if the signal is split properly at the house — not with a spare two-way splitter in the roof space.

Mulgrave antenna questions
Which way should my Mulgrave antenna point?
Toward Mt Dandenong, about 56° (north-east) and 18 km away, horizontally polarised on VHF. We aim with a meter, not by copying the neighbours.
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.
Do you work for property managers?
Yes. We meet tenants on site, send photos and meter readings, and quote at a fixed price.
