TV reception in Saratoga
Free-to-air TV in Saratoga comes from the Sydney main transmitter at Artarmon / Gore Hill / Willoughby, 40.5 km to the SSW (bearing 202°). It broadcasts on VHF Band III (channels 6–12) channels 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, horizontally polarised.
At this distance a high-gain VHF antenna is the standard fit; homes in dips or behind ridgelines often also need a masthead amplifier.
Pockets of Saratoga shadowed from Sydney can use the Bouddi translator (6.4 km SE, UHF channels 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 46, 47, V polarisation), which needs a UHF antenna pointed the other way, a common cause of "wrong antenna" reception faults after DIY installs.
Channels from Sydney

| 6 | ATN6 | 177.5 | VHF | Horizontal |
| 7 | SBS7 | 184.5 | VHF | Horizontal |
| 8 | TCN8 | 191.625 | VHF | Horizontal |
| 11 | TEN11 | 219.5 | VHF | Horizontal |
| 12 | ABC12 | 226.5 | VHF | Horizontal |
