What a retune involves
Multi-TV Jindivick homes often have one set that never tunes properly. That usually points to the cable or outlet in that room, which we check while we are there.
Reception facts for Jindivick
Mt Dandenong: 53 km at 294° (west-north-west), VHF horizontal. Mt Tassie (Latrobe Valley): 71 km at 125°, UHF. Starting point for the quote: a high-gain VHF/UHF combination antenna on a mast that clears the ridge.
Jindivick to Mt Dandenong: the path
Between Jindivick and Mt Dandenong lie Macclesfield, Monbulk and Olinda. Any tall building, ridge or tree line along that 53 km line affects what your antenna receives.
The alternative, Mt Tassie, is 71 km away at 125° (south-east) — almost a different direction entirely, so the antenna can only favour one.
Practical tip: stand where your antenna is and face west-north-west. If you can see a big tree, a new two-storey house or a hill within a few hundred metres, that is the first suspect.
What the signal looks like in Jindivick
Mt Dandenong is 53 km from Jindivick, bearing 294° (west-north-west). It transmits VHF with horizontal polarisation, so the antenna needs proper VHF elements — the long ones — not a UHF-only antenna. At this distance the field strength is comfortable, and most faults we find are mechanical: water in a join, a corroded balun, or an antenna turned by wind.

TV tuning & setup in Jindivick: FAQs
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.
My channels disappeared overnight — why?
Often a frequency change. A rescan usually fixes it; if not, we meter the signal.
Can you set up my new smart TV?
Yes — tuning, picture and sound, streaming apps and any set-top box or soundbar.
