What the signal looks like in Sunshine North
Wind is the slow killer in Sunshine North. A light mast flexes, the clamp loosens a little each storm, and over a few years the antenna drifts several degrees off 100°. Reception gets worse gradually until one day a network vanishes. Re-aiming with a meter and tightening the clamps fixes it in minutes.

The signal's route to Sunshine North
Draw a line from Sunshine North toward Mt Dandenong at 100° and it crosses Avondale Heights, Flemington, Carlton North, Balwyn North, Kerrimuir, Mitcham and Bayswater North before reaching the transmitter 46 km away.
Practical tip: stand where your antenna is and face 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.

Sunshine North: quick answers
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.
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.
Can you feed TV to my granny flat?
Yes — we split the signal properly at the house and run new cable, adding an amplifier only if the distance needs it.
