TV reception in Ulverstone
Free-to-air TV in Ulverstone comes from the Ulverstone local translator at Ulverstone, 0.8 km to the WNW (bearing 303°). It broadcasts on UHF (channels 28–51) channels 34, 35, 36, 37, 39, horizontally polarised.
A standard-gain UHF antenna pointed WNW and mounted horizontally (elements flat) gives reliable reception for most homes.
Pockets of Ulverstone shadowed from Ulverstone can use the East Devonport translator (12.6 km ESE, 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.
The regional main transmitter (NE Tasmania, 106.3 km ESE) is generally not usable here without a high-gain installation; the translator is the intended service.
