How we diagnose a Mornington 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 Mornington
Mt Dandenong: 50 km at 30° (north-north-east), VHF horizontal. Starting point for the quote: a high-gain VHF/UHF combination antenna on a mast that clears the ridge.
What lies between Mornington and Mt Dandenong
Between Mornington and Mt Dandenong lie Kunyung, Pines Forest, Seaford, Doveton, Upper Ferntree Gully and Ferny Creek. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 50 km line affects what your antenna receives.
The compass bearing (30°) is where we start. The final aim comes from the meter, which shows the strongest, cleanest lock on every channel.
Corrosion: the Mornington reception killer
Mornington is 50 km from Mt Dandenong. Over water the path is usually strong, which means coastal reception problems are almost always hardware, not distance.
Our repair process in Mornington
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 Mornington
How quickly can you fix my TV in Mornington?
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 Mornington?
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.
