It appears there is a problem with the Broadford TV Tower, Mitchell Shire Council maintain it, please report the fault to them if you are experiencing lost channels as of (mostly) this morning.

Customers sometimes ask "How do we accurately measure digital signals"?
Well there is only one way, and that is with a digital spectrum analyser that reads the digital errors, and, most importantly, does this before they are corrected.
Cheaper meters don't do this and are giving a reading that is after the errors are fixed, which could mean the picture is only a few errors away from pixellation.
The difference is between a meter that costs a few hundred to a meter that cost thousands, but there are no shortcuts to doing the job properly, especially in average signal areas like ours.

21/04/2020

It's business as usual for us and VTV is still providing installations of essentials like TV Antennas, TV points, Satellite systems and Mobile Phone Repeater Systems.

VTV are presently still providing Antenna installations, unless government Covid 19 restrictions change. For the health and safety of our staff and customers, we would ask that all payments for all future work completed (for the time being) be made via bank transfer as the first preference and cash or cheque as a very last preference, thank you for your understanding.

23/03/2020

We are still providing services to customers for now, unless of course the governments health advice with Covid 19 changes.
We would ask that requests for non essential work be put on hold, for now, so we can help those most in real need.
Before attending a customers premises we will likely ask their health status re the Corona-virus, isolation etc and strict hygiene will continue to be observed into the future.
Thank you for your understanding, VTV Antennas.

TV reception options in Kilmore.
In the 30 years here, we often find there are multiple choices depending on location, for example the Tootle st area generally is best served with a medium to high gain Melbourne antenna and a masthead amplifier kit (booster) but this area struggles to see/receive country channels.
Willowmavin estate and towards Kings lane has almost the opposite results, with the Broadford Tower (Bendigo channels) generally offering much better signal quality than Melbourne channels, additionally because of the UHF frequencies of the Broadford Tower there is less likelihood of the severe interference often experienced on the Melbourne lower channel frequencies.
A digital meter is always used to test signals to determine the best signal quality.

News flash channel 9 have added 9Gem Hd to the lineup (possibly for the Ashes cricket coverage) If you have issues with some of channel 9's programs missing rescan the channels.

07/03/2019

Just an Update on the reception issues experienced by some viewers late December and late January with the Bendigo via Broadford reception, its fairly certain that on both occasions it was not faults at the Towers but was actually due to severe atmospheric conditions causing significant reflection and/or disruption to the transmissions through the air.
It is usually only experienced (and rarely) in summer, and thankfully has now disappeared.

23/01/2019

News flash
There is currently an outage/fault of the TV transmissions via the Broadford Tower, Mitchell Shire Council have been notified and are investigating the cause.

19/12/2018

Atmospheric reception issues.
We have noticed some customers are having reception issues with the Broadford Tower(Bendigo channels).
The problem is mostly in the Willowmavin estate area particularly the west side of Kilmore .
This is due to unusual atmospheric conditions and will likely only last a few days perhaps a week or so at worst (typically).
To our knowledge the tower itself is functioning correctly and the problem should go away of its own accord.

4G mobile phone tower interference,why does it cause TV problems?
Most antenna (even high quality)equipment more than a couple of years old,receives and amplifies these frequencies,which can make them very strong,much stronger than the TV frequencies we do want and its fairly common in Kilmore and Broadford areas.
It won't damage the TV,and some Tvs may still display all the channels, but some may occasionally drop some or even all of the channels.
For reliable reception these frequencies should be minimised and VTV has the solutions. Call or message now.

Ahhh 4G,the saga continues,we are replacing, on average, 2 Masthead amplifiers a day to get rid of the interference,often the improvement to the signal is amazing.
A test onsite can confirm,but it is VERY common in Kilmore and Broadford,and some of the surrounding areas.
