Templestowe's signal path
Signal into Templestowe comes from the east-south-east, about 20 km away at Mt Dandenong. The path is mostly clear across established suburbs, so reception problems here tend to be about ageing hardware rather than geography. That is good news: it usually means a repair, not a new antenna.

What lies between Templestowe and Mt Dandenong
Between Templestowe and Mt Dandenong lie The Pines, Park Orchards, Croydon South and Kilsyth South. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 20 km line affects what your antenna receives.
When we aim a Templestowe antenna we start at 117° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.

Granny flats and backyard studios are increasingly common in Templestowe. Feeding them from the main antenna is easy if the signal is split properly at the house — not with a spare two-way splitter in the roof space.

Templestowe antenna questions
Which way should my Templestowe antenna point?
Toward Mt Dandenong, about 117° (east-south-east) and 20 km away, horizontally polarised on VHF. We aim with a meter, not by copying the neighbours.
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.
Do you work for property managers?
Yes. We meet tenants on site, send photos and meter readings, and quote at a fixed price.
