alanh Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 AMEN According to http://myswitch.digitalready.gov.au/ you are elegible for VAST satellite coverage because of a low unreliable signal from anywhere. The major TV antenna manufacturers do not have an MA16 in their current range of products. An MA16 is however a WiFi antenna. VAST Satellite reception is the best option for you however if you want Adelaide you should be using an phased array antenna on a tall mast but rotated so the antenna elements are horizontal not vertical as shown. For Riverland you need http://www.hillsantenna.com.au/en/Products/Product_subcat/Product?cat=15&ProductID=5028 pointed in a different direction. Mt Lofty 115 km away at a bearing from true north of 197 degrees. Loxton 143 km away bearing 112 degrees from true north. With such distances and a blocked Adelaide path a filtered masthead amplifier is also essential http://www.kingray.net.au/public/pdf/brochures/edge_series.pdf such as a Kingray MHW43 FS with quad shielded cable to the receiver. I do stress that VAST satellite reception is a more reliable option. Note that you should not use a VHF/UHF antenna for the Riverland as the VHF has been switched off as has channel 2 analog in Adelaide.

barney01 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hi All, I am a brand newbee to both this site and digital TV in general and am wondering if some one can help. I live on Hindmarsh Island (near Goolwa SA). I have just bought a new TV (Panasonic 52inch HDTV). I see from the Govt website that I can get "Good" reception from either Adelaide or Victor Harbor. As I'm a handyman tragic and like to do things for myself, can anyone offer advice on what antenna I shoul erect? Thank you. Barney01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
