TV reception in Pakenham Upper
Free-to-air TV in Pakenham Upper comes from the Melbourne main transmitter at Mount Dandenong / Mt Dandenong, 23 km to the NW (bearing 324°). It broadcasts on VHF Band III (channels 6–12) channels 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, horizontally polarised.
A medium-gain VHF antenna pointed NW and mounted horizontally (elements flat) gives reliable reception for most homes.
Pockets of Pakenham Upper shadowed from Melbourne can use the Selby translator (14.7 km NW, UHF channels 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, H polarisation), which needs a UHF antenna pointed the other way, a common cause of "wrong antenna" reception faults after DIY installs.
Channels from Melbourne
