Finishing the job the builders left for later
This Murdunna home, tucked into the coastal bushland along the Arthur Highway on the Forestier Peninsula, is a newer build, and like most new homes, television reception was never part of the handover. The household had been getting by on a set-top aerial sitting on the cabinet, which pulled in enough of a picture to be watchable on a good night and not much else the rest of the time.
Why a proper install beats an indoor aerial every time
An aerial sitting inside the house is working against the roof, the walls and everything else between it and the transmitter. Getting the antenna up and outside, through our antenna installation service, gives it a straight run at the signal instead of fighting the building it’s meant to serve.
Working around the tea-tree and banksia scrub
The block backs onto dense coastal scrub, tea-tree and banksia mostly, close enough to the roofline to influence where the antenna could sit. We mounted it toward the ridge, clear of the thickest growth, and set the pole height so the antenna has an open path back toward the transmitter without needing anything beyond a standard roof mount.
The result
A full, reliable digital picture across every free to air channel, finishing off a job the builders had always left for the owners to sort out themselves.
If you’re in Murdunna
Plenty of the newer builds going up around Murdunna and the Forestier Peninsula end up running on a temporary indoor aerial for months before anyone gets around to a proper install. If that sounds like your place, our digital antenna installation service is built for exactly this. Give Michael a call on 0420 998 592, or request a free quote online.
