Finding the fault in Hastings
In multi-TV Hastings homes, which TVs fail tells us where to look. One room only points to that outlet or its cable; every room points to the antenna, its cable or the main splitter.
Where Hastings's signal comes from
Mt Dandenong: 54 km at 15° (north-north-east), VHF horizontal. Expect a high-gain VHF/UHF combination antenna on a mast that clears the ridge, confirmed by meter on the day.
Hastings to Mt Dandenong: the path
Signal from Mt Dandenong travels 54 km to reach Hastings, passing over Pearcedale (12 km out), Cranbourne West (23 km out), Hampton Park (31 km out), Upwey (46 km out) and Ferny Creek (49 km out) on the way.
Practical tip: stand where your antenna is and face north-north-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.
Why coastal antennas fail early in Hastings
Hastings is 54 km from Mt Dandenong. Over water the path is usually strong, which means coastal reception problems are almost always hardware, not distance.
