Sunbury transmitter options
Valley floors are often in partial shadow from the surrounding hills, so Sunbury homes on rising ground can see one transmitter while those lower down rely on another. When a household moves the antenna or replaces it like-for-like, it is easy to end up pointed at the weaker option without realising.

Distances and bearings are calculated from the centre of Sunbury; your roof may differ by a few degrees. Repeaters are low-power and directional, so we always confirm with a meter on site.
The signal's route to Sunbury
Draw a line from Sunbury toward Mt Dandenong at 117° and it crosses Greenvale, Kingsbury, Macleod West, Lower Plenty, The Pines and Croydon South before reaching the transmitter 63 km away.
Practical tip: stand where your antenna is and face east-south-east. If you can see a big tree, a new two-storey house or a hill within a few hundred metres, that is the first suspect.
Sunbury homes and their antennas
New estates on the edge of Sunbury have the same builder-antenna issues as Melbourne's growth suburbs: small antennas mounted low. A correctly sized antenna aimed with a meter fixes it.
Common Sunbury call-outs
- Antenna pointed at the weaker of two transmitters

Sunbury: quick answers
Do you install LTE/5G filters?
Yes. Near mobile towers, 4G/5G signals can overload TV amplifiers. A filter fixes it when the meter shows that is the cause.
Why is my picture worse on foggy mornings?
Wet antennas and cable lose a little signal. If your system has no margin, that is enough to cause dropouts. Better gain or a cable fix restores it.
Can you set up TVs for a club or pub?
Yes — multi-screen distribution with proper amplification, and LTE filtering where needed.
