TV reception in Tewantin
Free-to-air TV in Tewantin comes from the Sunshine Coast South main transmitter at Bald Knob, 45.9 km to the SSW (bearing 195°). 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 Tewantin shadowed from Sunshine Coast South can use the Noosa/Tewantin translator (4.6 km SW, UHF channels 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, V polarisation), which needs a UHF antenna pointed the other way, a common cause of "wrong antenna" reception faults after DIY installs.
