TV reception in Tallebudgera Valley
Free-to-air TV in Tallebudgera Valley comes from the Gold Coast main transmitter at Mount Tamborine, 28.2 km to the NNW (bearing 328°). It broadcasts on UHF (channels 28–51) channels 40, 41, 42, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 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 Tallebudgera Valley shadowed from Gold Coast can use the Gold Coast Southern Hinterland translator (9.5 km SW, UHF channels 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 49, 50, H polarisation), which needs a UHF antenna pointed the other way, a common cause of "wrong antenna" reception faults after DIY installs.
