Tuning problems we fix in Emerald
Set-top boxes, PVRs and older TVs each have their own tuning quirks. We retune every device in the Emerald home, not just the main TV.
Emerald transmitter check
Mt Dandenong: 13 km at 325° (north-west), VHF horizontal. Typical fit: a compact VHF/UHF combination antenna.
What lies between Emerald and Mt Dandenong
Draw a line from Emerald toward Mt Dandenong at 325° and it crosses Clematis, Kallista, The Patch and Olinda before reaching the transmitter 13 km away.
The compass bearing (325°) is where we start. The final aim comes from the meter, which shows the strongest, cleanest lock on every channel.
Terrain and TV in Emerald
Low-power repeaters exist because of terrain like Emerald's. They rebroadcast the Melbourne channels on UHF into pockets the main transmitter cannot reach. Whether it beats the main transmitter at your address depends on your exact position, which is why we meter both.

Before you book in Emerald
Why do I have duplicate channels?
Your TV found the same networks from two transmitters. We retune so each comes from the strongest, cleanest source.
Is it worth calling someone just to retune?
If you have tried a rescan and it did not work, yes — there is usually an underlying cause we can find with a meter.
Can you set up my PVR or set-top box?
Yes — we tune every device and set up recording where supported.
