The Member for Gippsland East, Craig Ingram, said his office had received many complaints from viewers who receive their TV signal from Mount Taylor.

"Problems have been reported from the site since December, but by far the majority of complaints I have received were from Monday evening where reception was cutting out regularly making it impossible to watch.

"Broadcast technicians and power company representatives attended the transmitter site on Tuesday evening.

"Monitoring equipment has been placed at the site and staff from Broadcast Australia and power company, SPAusnet, will continue working together to isolate and rectify the problem.
