OPTICOMM TO END FREE-TO-AIR TV SERVICE ON 1 OCT 2025

If you’re picking up TV reception from the main transmitter at Kalamunda/Bickley, then you will be using the Fracarro Log or the Hills Black Arrow antenna.

If you are picking up from a relay transmitters like Two Rocks, Scarborough or the CBD, then the UHF antenna will be required.

Hills and Odrok antennas are both Australian companies. Fraccarro is Italian and is a global leader in the TV reception industry.

Typically most jobs are done within 3 working days and a Monday-Saturday service is available. Some antenna installations can be affected by weather conditions, if you have a metal roof and it’s raining all week then your job could be rescheduled to suit.

Yes, we offer pensioners a 10% discount on TV antennas and TV wall mounts or installations.

Yes, I carry an eftpos machine.

Once I know your location I can then advise and install for best. It will come down to the signal strength at your rooftop and the number of TV outlets within the home, the ideal signal strength at each TV within the house is 55db-75db.

Yes, all Pro TV jobs come with a 5 year warranty as standard, Some Hills antennas are 10 year and amplifiers have a 2 year warranty.

Pro TV only supply and instal quality high gain antennas. High gain antennas will always give you more signal at the rooftop versus medium gain type models.

If you live in the Scarborough coast area or Perth City and surrounds or even Two Rocks then you may need an UHF antenna. These relay transmitters operate on different frequencies than the main VHF transmitter located in Kalamunda/Bickley. Relay transmitters fill in the gaps where the main transmitter may not cover that well which is often down to the local terrain. If in doubt, just ask and I can confirm or advise for best once I am at the house and have carried out rooftop testing.

The antenna, standard antenna mast for new build houses, roof cable, splitter, testing, 1 hour labour plus GST.

TV boosters, also known as known amplifiers or pre-amps will boost the incoming signal from your roof top, these are sometimes used when the incoming signal is not strong enough to deliver the required minimum signal to the TV points within the house.

Some 2 story properties that may have steep roofs or poor ladder access may take longer to install, other examples would be houses that need or have existing tall masts/poles in place, properties that may need boosters or have further additional faults within house would be classed as non standard.

Standard TV points are installed from $150.00, this applies to single story properties with good roof access and the point in the cavity wall. Additional costs may apply if your property is a double story house or in split levels and or with poor roof access.

TV points can sometimes be discounted if completed in multiples or with another job on the same visit.

Service calls are charged out at $99.00 plus any parts used for minor repairs and checks for bad TV reception, if an antenna upgrade is required then you just pay for this as the general service and standard labour is included in the antenna price.
