How we diagnose a Scoresby 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 Scoresby
Mt Dandenong: 14 km at 56° (north-east), VHF horizontal. Starting point for the quote: a compact VHF/UHF combination antenna.
What lies between Scoresby and Mt Dandenong
Between Scoresby and Mt Dandenong lie Knoxfield, Ferntree Gully, Boronia, The Basin and Mount Dandenong. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 14 km line affects what your antenna receives.
The compass bearing (56°) is where we start. The final aim comes from the meter, which shows the strongest, cleanest lock on every channel.
What the signal looks like in Scoresby
Signal into Scoresby comes from the north-east, about 14 km away at Mt Dandenong. The path is mostly clear across established suburbs, so reception problems here tend to be about ageing hardware rather than geography. That is good news: it usually means a repair, not a new antenna.
Our repair process in Scoresby
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.
What it costs in Scoresby

Before you book in Scoresby
How quickly can you fix my TV in Scoresby?
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 Scoresby?
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.
