Questions from Narre Warren South customers
Why do I lose channels in Narre Warren South when it rains?
Almost always water: in an unsealed cable join, a cracked balun or a split cable jacket. Rain changes the cable's properties and the weakest link fails first. We find the wet point with a meter and replace it with sealed fittings.
Is it worth repairing an old antenna?
If the elements and mast are sound, yes — a new balun and cable is cheaper than a new antenna. If the antenna is corroded or bent, replacing it is better value, and you save $120 on a new antenna install.
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.
