TV reception in Dubbo
Free-to-air TV in Dubbo comes from the Dubbo local translator at Dubbo, 4.2 km to the E (bearing 98°). It broadcasts on UHF (channels 28–51) channels 41, 42, 43, 45, horizontally polarised.
A standard-gain UHF antenna pointed E and mounted horizontally (elements flat) gives reliable reception for most homes.
The regional main transmitter (Central Western Slopes, 105.5 km NNE) is generally not usable here without a high-gain installation; the translator is the intended service.
