Why Longwarry TVs lose channels
Some TVs in Longwarry 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 Longwarry's signal comes from
Mt Dandenong: 48 km at 310° (north-west), VHF horizontal. Mt Tassie (Latrobe Valley): 77 km at 115°, UHF. For this address we'd usually fit a mid-gain VHF/UHF combination antenna on a short mast above the roofline.
The signal's route to Longwarry
Signal from Mt Dandenong travels 48 km to reach Longwarry, passing over Garfield North (9.9 km out), Cockatoo (31 km out), Avonsleigh (32 km out) and Olinda (45 km out) on the way.
The alternative, Mt Tassie, is 77 km away at 115° (east-south-east) — almost a different direction entirely, so the antenna can only favour one.
When we aim a Longwarry antenna we start at 310° and then peak it on the meter, because reflections can make the best direction a few degrees off the map bearing.
Signal sources for Longwarry
From Longwarry, Mt Dandenong is 48 km away at 310° (north-west), broadcasting VHF with horizontal polarisation. Mt Tassie is 77 km away at 115° (east-south-east), on UHF. Different sites need different antennas — VHF and UHF, horizontal and vertical — so the choice is made with a meter, not by copying the house next door.
