What a Portsea 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 Portsea, with Mt Dandenong 77 km away, a healthy system shows plenty of margin; anything less tells us where the loss is.
Portsea transmitter check
Mt Dandenong: 77 km at 46° (north-east), VHF horizontal. Most likely: a long-range high-gain VHF/UHF combination antenna on a tall, guyed mast, with a masthead amplifier only if the meter calls for one.
The signal's route to Portsea
Draw a line from Portsea toward Mt Dandenong at 46° and it crosses Aspendale, Waterways, Noble Park, Rowville and Ferntree Gully before reaching the transmitter 77 km away.
When we aim a Portsea antenna we start at 46° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.
What salt air does to antennas in Portsea
Sea breezes in Portsea also mean fatigue. Elements that vibrate in constant wind work loose at the boom. A slight rattle on a windy day is often the first sign an antenna is on the way out.

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