TV reception in Spotswood
Free-to-air TV in Spotswood comes from the Melbourne main transmitter at Mount Dandenong / Mt Dandenong, 40.9 km to the E (bearing 91°). It broadcasts on VHF Band III (channels 6–12) channels 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, horizontally polarised.
At this distance a high-gain VHF antenna is the standard fit; homes in dips or behind ridgelines often also need a masthead amplifier.
Pockets of Spotswood shadowed from Melbourne can use the Melbourne Inner Suburbs translator (6.7 km ENE, 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.
Channels from Melbourne

| 6 | HSV6 | 177.5 | VHF | Horizontal |
| 7 | SBS7 | 184.5 | VHF | Horizontal |
| 8 | GTV8 | 191.625 | VHF | Horizontal |
| 11 | ATV11 | 219.5 | VHF | Horizontal |
| 12 | ABC12 | 226.5 | VHF | Horizontal |
