TV reception in Scarborough
Free-to-air TV in Scarborough comes from the Illawarra main transmitter at Knights Hill, 45.9 km to the SSW (bearing 212°). It broadcasts on UHF (channels 28–51) channels 35, 36, 38, 39, horizontally polarised.
At this distance a high-gain UHF antenna is the standard fit; homes in dips or behind ridgelines often also need a masthead amplifier.
Pockets of Scarborough shadowed from Illawarra can use the Wollongong translator (13.2 km SW, UHF channels 40, 41, 42, 44, H polarisation), which needs a UHF antenna pointed the other way, a common cause of "wrong antenna" reception faults after DIY installs.
