TV reception in Lorne
Free-to-air TV in Lorne comes from the Lorne local translator at Lorne, 4.3 km to the ESE (bearing 120°). It broadcasts on UHF (channels 28–51) channels 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, horizontally polarised.
A standard-gain UHF antenna pointed ESE and mounted horizontally (elements flat) gives reliable reception for most homes.
Pockets of Lorne shadowed from Lorne can use the Mt Cowley IBL translator (6.7 km WSW, UHF channels 46, 47, 48, 49, V polarisation), which needs a UHF antenna pointed the other way, a common cause of "wrong antenna" reception faults after DIY installs.
