TV reception in Macleod
Free-to-air TV in Macleod comes from the Melbourne main transmitter at Mount Dandenong / Mt Dandenong, 28.2 km to the ESE (bearing 119°). It broadcasts on VHF Band III (channels 6–12) channels 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, horizontally polarised.
A medium-gain VHF antenna pointed ESE and mounted horizontally (elements flat) gives reliable reception for most homes.
Pockets of Macleod shadowed from Melbourne can use the Melbourne Inner Suburbs translator (14.9 km SW, UHF channels 40, 41, 43, 44, 45, V polarisation), which needs a UHF antenna pointed the other way, a common cause of "wrong antenna" reception faults after DIY installs.
