TV reception in Richmond
Free-to-air TV in Richmond comes from the Hobart main transmitter at Mt Wellington, 24.2 km to the SW (bearing 222°). It broadcasts on VHF Band III (channels 6–12) channels 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, horizontally polarised.
A medium-gain VHF antenna pointed SW and mounted horizontally (elements flat) gives reliable reception for most homes.
Pockets of Richmond shadowed from Hobart can use the Hobart NE Suburbs translator (12.8 km SW, UHF channels 46, 47, 48, 49, 51, H polarisation), which needs a UHF antenna pointed the other way, a common cause of "wrong antenna" reception faults after DIY installs.
Channels from Hobart

| 7 | TVT7 | 184.625 | VHF | Horizontal |
| 8 | ABC8 | 191.5 | VHF | Horizontal |
| 10 | TNT10 | 212.5 | VHF | Horizontal |
| 11 | TDT11 | 219.5 | VHF | Horizontal |
