TV Antenna Installation Sunrise Beach 4567

TV reception in Sunrise Beach

Free-to-air TV in Sunrise Beach comes from the Sunshine Coast South main transmitter at Bald Knob, 45.4 km to the SSW (bearing 204°). It broadcasts on UHF (channels 28–51) channels 34, 35, 37, 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 Sunrise Beach shadowed from Sunshine Coast South can use the Peregian Beach translator (6 km S, UHF channels 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, V polarisation), which needs a UHF antenna pointed the other way, a common cause of "wrong antenna" reception faults after DIY installs.
