TV reception in Albany
Free-to-air TV in Albany comes from the Southern Agricultural main transmitter at Mt Barker, 46.6 km to the NNW (bearing 332°). It broadcasts on VHF Band III (channels 6–12) channels 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, vertically 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 Albany shadowed from Southern Agricultural can use the Albany translator (1 km ENE, UHF channels 41, 42, 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.
