Hi.

Does anyone have an idea of when (or I guess if) 10, Prime and WIN intend transmitting from Mt Taylor, as I get too much picture break-up from the Black Mountain signal?

ABC and SBS are transmitting from Mt Taylor, so my STB isn't completely useless.....

Thanks

Kent

No, not right now



What suburb do you live in & where is your antenna pointing?

I live in Farrer and have the antenna pointing towards black mountain. That said, I don't have a clear line of sight to it.

cheers

Hi Kent
In Farrer you can toss a coin between Blk Mtn & Mt Taylor. If you wish to receive a reliable digital signal from Mt Taylor you will need to change your antenna to a band 5 UHF, as the freq are different from that translator. The antenna you are currently using for Blk Mtn "may" be ok for the digital freq. The problems with reception at the moment may be more the location of the antenna, type of cable, splitters, outlets, flyleads etc. It should be posible to receive all services from Blk Mtn, if you really want DTV sooner rather than later, consider getting an installer in to perform a site survey and give you a price.

This is an old thread so I was wondering if anyone is able to confirm the current situation with respect to 10, Prime and Win broadcasting from Mount Taylor.

Cheers

So does anyone know when all stations will be broadcasting from Mount Taylor?

Last I heard from some broadcast engineer friends is their not as the coverage from Telstra Tower and Tugg Hill translator are adequate for the Weston Creek area.

I used to live on Molvig St in Weston and the reception was appalling there as its in the shadow of Oakey Hill.
