Set-top boxes, PVRs and older TVs each have their own tuning quirks. We retune every device in the Garfield home, not just the main TV.
Garfield transmitter check
Mt Dandenong: 41 km at 315° (north-west), VHF horizontal. Typical fit: a mid-gain VHF/UHF combination antenna on a short mast above the roofline.
What lies between Garfield and Mt Dandenong
Draw a line from Garfield toward Mt Dandenong at 315° and it crosses Maryknoll, Mount Burnett and Olinda before reaching the transmitter 41 km away.
The compass bearing (315°) is where we start. The final aim comes from the meter, which shows the strongest, cleanest lock on every channel.
Reception on Garfield acreage
Garfield properties sometimes sit in a hollow with the house below the paddock line. Raising the antenna on a taller mast or moving it to a pole on higher ground can turn a marginal signal into a solid one.
What we do
1. Reset and rescan

Before you book in Garfield
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.
