TV reception in Katherine
Free-to-air TV in Katherine comes from the Katherine local translator at Katherine, 2.7 km to the SSE (bearing 152°). It broadcasts on combined VHF/UHF channels 6, 8, 34, 36, 38, horizontally polarised.
A standard-gain VHF+UHF antenna pointed SSE and mounted horizontally (elements flat) gives reliable reception for most homes.
Pockets of Katherine shadowed from Katherine can use the Tindal translator (14.2 km ESE, UHF channels 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, H polarisation), which needs a UHF antenna pointed the other way, a common cause of "wrong antenna" reception faults after DIY installs.
