New estate, weak picture: what's going on in South Morang
Builders often pre-wire every room with RG6 but connect only one or two outlets, leaving cables coiled in the roof cavity or joined with push-on connectors that work loose. In South Morang we regularly find live outlets that were never connected to the antenna at all. We test every point and terminate the lot properly.

What lies between South Morang and Mt Dandenong
Between South Morang and Mt Dandenong lie Plenty, North Warrandyte, Warrandyte South and Croydon. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 32 km line affects what your antenna receives.
When we aim a South Morang antenna we start at 133° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.
Getting it right first time in South Morang
If you have Foxtel or a satellite dish in South Morang, the builder may have run both services through one cable with a cheap diplexer. When that fitting fails, both lose signal. We separate or replace it properly.

South Morang antenna questions
Will an amplifier fix my reception?
Only if the signal is clean but weak. If the antenna is undersized or misaligned, an amplifier just amplifies the noise. We meter first and only fit one when the numbers justify it.
Does my estate covenant restrict the antenna?
Some do. A rear-of-roof mast usually complies and often performs better than the builder position.
Can you connect the outlets the builder left unconnected?
Yes — we find every pre-wired cable in the roof cavity, terminate it with compression connectors and test each outlet.
