Our Process
A straightforward, professional workflow from diagnosis to full signal restoration so you know exactly how Master Antenna fixes TV reception.
1. Full TV Signal Diagnosis
We begin with a complete DVB-T signal survey using professional signal meters to check field strength, measure S/N levels, and identify interference or multipath distortion. This includes a visual inspection of the TV antenna, mast, RG6 cabling, splitters and wall outlets to locate the root cause.
2. Repair Plan & Clear Explanation
After diagnosis we provide a simple, upfront recommendation listing required repairs or upgrades — from re-alignment and cable replacement to amplifier installation or antenna replacement — with a transparent quote and timeframe.
3. Repair or Replacement Work
Our technicians carry out the agreed repairs on the spot: antenna realignment, element repair or replacement, RG6 re-termination or rewiring, and faulty splitter or wall plate replacement. All work is completed to industry standards with neat cabling and secure mountings.
4. Channel Tuning & Signal Stabilisation
Once hardware work is done we fine-tune antenna direction, set amplifier gain if fitted, and run a full channel scan to restore Free-to-Air channels. We balance signal distribution so each TV receives the correct levels and avoid tuner overload or under-feeding.
5. Final Testing & Site Cleanup
We verify results with final meter readings, test every outlet and TV, then walk you through the fix. Work areas are left clean and tidy, and we log the repair details and outcomes for your records.

FAQs
Why is my TV reception so bad in Melbourne lately?
Recent reception issues are often linked to the expansion of 5G mobile networks, which can interfere with older antenna systems.10 Additionally, Victoria’s recent high-wind events have been known to shift antennas out of alignment or damage aging components that have reached their 10-15 year lifespan.
What is an LTE filter and do I need one for my TV?
An LTE filter is a device that blocks 4G and 5G mobile signals while allowing TV signals to pass through. If you live near a mobile tower and experience pixelation, an LTE filter is often essential to prevent signal overload.
How does heavy rain affect my digital TV signal in Victoria?
Heavy rain can cause “rain fade,” where water droplets absorb and scatter the UHF signal. However, if your TV loses signal during every minor shower, it likely indicates that water is entering your coaxial cables or that your antenna’s connections are corroded and short-circuiting.
Why do I lose some channels but not others?
Different channels are broadcast on different frequencies. Some may be on the VHF band while others are on UHF. If your antenna is damaged or not designed for both bands, it may capture one set of frequencies while failing to receive others.
Can my LED lights really interfere with my TV reception?
Yes, poorly shielded LED light drivers and solar inverters can emit electromagnetic interference (EMI).11 This noise travels through your home’s wiring and can disrupt the sensitive TV signal if your antenna cables are of a lower grade like RG59.
What is the difference between signal strength and signal quality?
Signal strength is the amount of power reaching the TV, while signal quality is the clarity of the digital data. You can have a “strong” signal that is full of “noise” and interference, which will still result in a bad picture. A professional uses a spectrum analyzer to ensure high quality, not just high strength.
How often should I have my TV antenna checked in Melbourne?
It is recommended to have your antenna inspected every 5 to 10 years.11 In coastal areas like the Mornington Peninsula, salt air can cause faster corrosion, potentially requiring more frequent maintenance to prevent signal dropouts.
Is a TV signal booster always the best way to fix a weak signal?
No. Boosters (amplifiers) should only be used to overcome signal loss in long cable runs or when splitting to multiple TVs.12 If the signal at the antenna is already poor, a booster will simply amplify the interference and noise, potentially making the picture worse.
Can a bird sitting on my antenna cause reception issues?
Yes, particularly in regional Victoria where large birds like cockatoos can bend or snap antenna elements. A broken element changes the antenna’s electrical properties and can cause the immediate loss of specific frequencies.
What is "atmospheric ducting" and how does it affect Geelong residents?
Atmospheric ducting is a weather-related event where TV signals from distant cities (like Hobart or Sydney) bounce off the atmosphere and reach Geelong, interfering with local signals.11 This usually happens on warm, still evenings and cannot be fixed by an antenna alone; it often requires a higher-quality shielded system.
Why does my TV say "No Signal" after a big storm?
Storms can cause physical damage, but they also often cause the antenna mast to “slip” and point in the wrong direction.16 Even a 10-degree misalignment can lead to a total loss of signal on a digital TV.
Should I use a manual tune or an auto-scan on my TV?
Manual tuning is preferred for troubleshooting in Victoria. Using the specific frequencies for your local transmitter (available on the mySwitch website) prevents the TV from accidentally locking onto weak, unreliable signals from distant towers.
Is my old analog antenna still useful for digital TV?
While some analog antennas can pick up digital signals, they are not optimized for the modern frequency spectrum. They often lack the necessary filtering and gain for the higher UHF channels and are more susceptible to interference from 4G/5G mobile towers.
