Which TV transmitter serves Selby?

Free-to-air TV in Selby comes from the Melbourne main transmitter at Mount Dandenong / Mt Dandenong, 8.8 km to the NNW (bearing 348°). It broadcasts on VHF Band III (channels 6–12) channels 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, horizontally polarised. Pockets of Selby shadowed from Melbourne can use the Selby translator (0.9 km E, 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.
