TV reception in Ferny Creek
Free-to-air TV in Ferny Creek comes from the Melbourne main transmitter at Mount Dandenong / Mt Dandenong, 4.6 km to the NNE (bearing 18°). It broadcasts on VHF Band III (channels 6–12) channels 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, horizontally polarised.
A standard-gain VHF antenna pointed NNE and mounted horizontally (elements flat) gives reliable reception for most homes.
Pockets of Ferny Creek shadowed from Melbourne can use the Ferntree Gully translator (3.6 km W, 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.
