What a Eltham repair involves
We start at the TV: is the fault on every channel or just some, every TV or just one? That narrows it to the antenna, the cable network or the set itself. Then we meter at the wall plate and at the antenna. In Eltham, with Mt Dandenong 21 km away, a healthy system shows plenty of margin; anything less tells us where the loss is.
Eltham transmitter check
Mt Dandenong: 21 km at 129° (south-east), VHF horizontal. Most likely: a compact VHF/UHF combination antenna.
The signal's route to Eltham
Draw a line from Eltham toward Mt Dandenong at 129° and it crosses Warrandyte South, Warranwood, Croydon Hills, Croydon and Kilsyth before reaching the transmitter 21 km away.
When we aim a Eltham antenna we start at 129° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.
Terrain and TV in Eltham
Mt Dandenong is 21 km from Eltham at 129° (south-east). On paper that is close, but hills and ridgelines between here and there cast radio shadows, and tall eucalypts absorb signal — more when they are wet. A house on the high side of a street may lock every channel while one in the gully below gets nothing on the same antenna.

Eltham antenna repair questions
How quickly can you fix my TV in Eltham?
Same day in most cases if you call before 11am. We work 7 days, 8am–9pm.
Why are only some channels missing in Eltham?
Different networks sit on different frequencies, so a marginal antenna or a lossy cable can drop some and keep others. Mt Dandenong broadcasts on VHF 6, 7, 8, 11 and 12 (plus UHF 32 for C31); we meter each one.
Do you fix storm damage?
Yes — bent elements, turned antennas, blown amplifiers and flooded connectors. We carry common parts in the van.
