Why Cockatoo TVs lose channels
Some TVs in Cockatoo keep losing channels after software updates. We check the tuner settings, disable automatic channel updates where they cause trouble, and confirm the signal is solid.
Where Cockatoo's signal comes from
Mt Dandenong: 17 km at 311° (north-west), VHF horizontal. For this address we'd usually fit a compact VHF/UHF combination antenna.
The signal's route to Cockatoo
Signal from Mt Dandenong travels 17 km to reach Cockatoo, passing over Avonsleigh (1.4 km out) and Olinda (14 km out) on the way.
When we aim a Cockatoo antenna we start at 311° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.
Reading the hills around Cockatoo
Altitude helps only if there is a view. A Cockatoo home high on a slope may face away from Mt Dandenong with the hill itself in the way. Sometimes the answer is a repeater behind you rather than the main transmitter in front.
