TV reception in Newstead
Free-to-air TV in Newstead comes from the NE Tasmania main transmitter at Mt Barrow, 22.9 km to the ENE (bearing 75°). It broadcasts on UHF (channels 28–51) channels 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, horizontally polarised.
A medium-gain UHF antenna pointed ENE and mounted horizontally (elements flat) gives reliable reception for most homes.
Pockets of Newstead shadowed from NE Tasmania can use the Launceston translator (3 km WSW, UHF channels 34, 35, 36, 37, 39, H polarisation), which needs a UHF antenna pointed the other way, a common cause of "wrong antenna" reception faults after DIY installs.
