Oak Park's signal path
Signal into Oak Park comes from the east-south-east, about 40 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.

Granny flats and backyard studios are increasingly common in Oak Park. 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.
What usually goes wrong in Oak Park

Oak Park antenna questions
Which way should my Oak Park antenna point?
Toward Mt Dandenong, about 109° (east-south-east) and 40 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.
