TV reception in Ferntree Gully
Free-to-air TV in Ferntree Gully comes from the Melbourne main transmitter at Mount Dandenong / Mt Dandenong, 8 km to the NE (bearing 50°). It broadcasts on VHF Band III (channels 6–12) channels 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, horizontally polarised.
A standard-gain VHF antenna pointed NE and mounted horizontally (elements flat) gives reliable reception for most homes.
Pockets of Ferntree Gully shadowed from Melbourne can use the Ferntree Gully translator (1.2 km E, UHF channels 40, 41, 43, 44, 45, H polarisation), which needs a UHF antenna pointed the other way, a common cause of "wrong antenna" reception faults after DIY installs.
