Sorrento transmitter check
Mt Dandenong: 78 km at 43° (north-east), VHF horizontal. Typical fit: a long-range high-gain VHF/UHF combination antenna on a tall, guyed mast, with a masthead amplifier only if the meter calls for one.
What lies between Sorrento and Mt Dandenong
Draw a line from Sorrento toward Mt Dandenong at 43° and it crosses Edithvale, Waterways, Dandenong North, Mountain Gate and The Basin before reaching the transmitter 78 km away.
The compass bearing (43°) is where we start. The final aim comes from the meter, which shows the strongest, cleanest lock on every channel.
What salt air does to antennas in Sorrento
Sand and grit blown onto Sorrento roofs wear away the coating on aluminium elements. Once the anodising is gone, corrosion speeds up. Antennas facing the prevailing wind fail first.

Before you book in Sorrento
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.
