What Pakenham South properties need
Paddocks don't block signal, but windbreaks and rows of pines do. A Pakenham South antenna that worked for years can fade as a shelter belt matures across the path toward north-north-west.

Pakenham South antenna questions
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.
Can you mount the antenna on a pole instead of the roof?
Yes — a pole mount in a clear spot with cable run to the house is a good option on larger blocks.
Can animals damage the cable?
Yes. We use conduit where stock or machinery cross, and UV-stable cable outdoors.
