Reception in Springvale South at a glance
Some Springvale South streets sit just below a rise that the signal from Mt Dandenong skims over. Homes on the low side get a weaker, less stable picture than their neighbours across the road. A mast that adds a metre or two of height often makes all the difference.

Questions from Springvale South customers
My neighbour built a second storey and now my TV pixelates — can that be fixed?
Usually, yes. Raising the antenna on a taller mast, or moving it to a corner of the roof with a clear view, restores the path. We meter a few positions before committing.
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.
Do you work for property managers?
Yes. We meet tenants on site, send photos and meter readings, and quote at a fixed price.
