Finding the fault in Heidelberg
In multi-TV Heidelberg 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 Heidelberg's signal comes from
Mt Dandenong: 26 km at 111° (east-south-east), VHF horizontal. Expect a compact VHF/UHF combination antenna, confirmed by meter on the day.
Heidelberg to Mt Dandenong: the path
Signal from Mt Dandenong travels 26 km to reach Heidelberg, passing over Bulleen (2.0 km out), Templestowe Lower (3.7 km out), Donvale (11 km out), Ringwood North (15 km out), Ringwood (15 km out), Croydon South (19 km out) and Kilsyth South (23 km out) on the way.
Practical tip: stand where your antenna is and face east-south-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.
Reception in Heidelberg's older streets
Mature trees are the other Heidelberg problem. Elms and plane trees that were saplings when the antenna went up can now sit across the path to Mt Dandenong, which is to the east-south-east. Wet leaves absorb signal, so reception gets worse in rain and in summer when the trees are in full leaf.
