What a Mont Albert 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 Mont Albert, with Mt Dandenong 21 km away, a healthy system shows plenty of margin; anything less tells us where the loss is.
Mont Albert transmitter check
Mt Dandenong: 21 km at 96° (east), VHF horizontal. Most likely: a compact VHF/UHF combination antenna.
The signal's route to Mont Albert
Draw a line from Mont Albert toward Mt Dandenong at 96° and it crosses Box Hill, Laburnum, Nunawading, Heathwood, Ringwood East and Kilsyth South before reaching the transmitter 21 km away.
When we aim a Mont Albert antenna we start at 96° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.
Old roofs, old cable: the Mont Albert pattern
Slate, terracotta and old corrugated iron need a different approach from a modern Colorbond roof. We use roof ladders and walk-boards, avoid stepping on brittle tiles, and route new cable through existing penetrations where we can. On Mont Albert heritage frontages we mount to the rear where the signal allows, so the street view stays clean.

Mont Albert antenna repair questions
How quickly can you fix my TV in Mont Albert?
Same day in most cases if you call before 11am. We work 7 days, 8am–9pm.
Why are only some channels missing in Mont Albert?
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.
