How we diagnose a Belgrave reception fault
“No signal” has a dozen causes, and only some of them are the antenna. We check signal strength and quality (MER and bit-error rate) on every network. A strong but dirty reading points to interference or reflections; a weak clean reading points to the antenna, its aim or a lossy cable.
Signal sources for Belgrave
Mt Dandenong: 8.6 km at 356° (north), VHF horizontal. Selby repeater: 2.1 km at 96°, UHF horizontal. Starting point for the quote: a compact VHF/UHF combination antenna — or, where the Selby repeater meters cleaner, a UHF antenna mounted horizontally and aimed at it.
What lies between Belgrave and Mt Dandenong
Between Belgrave and Mt Dandenong lie Tecoma, Sherbrooke, Sassafras and Mount Dandenong. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 8.6 km line affects what your antenna receives.
The shorter path to the Selby repeater (2.1 km at 96°) runs over Selby.
The compass bearing (356°) is where we start. The final aim comes from the meter, which shows the strongest, cleanest lock on every channel.
Why Belgrave reception varies house to house
Altitude helps only if there is a view. A Belgrave home high on a slope may face away from Mt Dandenong with the hill itself in the way. Sometimes the answer is a repeater behind you rather than the main transmitter in front.
Our repair process in Belgrave
1. Meter the antenna
At the antenna we confirm aim toward Mt Dandenong and measure what is actually arriving.
2. Replace the failed part
Balun, connector, cable section, splitter or amplifier — only what failed.
3. Seal and secure
New joins are weather-booted; clamps tightened so the antenna stays put.

Before you book in Belgrave
How quickly can you fix my TV in Belgrave?
Same day in most cases if you call before 11am. We work 7 days, 8am–9pm.
Is it worth repairing an old antenna?
If the elements and mast are sound, yes. If it is heavily corroded, a new one is better value — and you save $120 on a new antenna install.
Can you fix it if I've already tried retuning in Belgrave?
Yes. If a rescan did not help, the cause is in the signal path — antenna, cable, splitter or amplifier — and we find it with a meter.
