Yarra Glen antenna questions
Which transmitter should my Yarra Glen antenna point to?
The candidates are Mt Dandenong (21 km, 186°, VHF horizontal). We meter them from your roof and choose the cleanest.
Why does my TV work some days and not others?
Usually because the antenna is pointed at a marginal site, or water is getting into a connector. Weather changes the signal path and the cable loss. We find which one it is with a meter.
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.
