CLAIRVIEW residents are at their wits' end with "dodgy" television reception.

Tired of "not even being able to watch the bloody news", home owners and holiday makers complained to Isaac Regional Council about their TV reception issues last month.

Resident Robin Sleeman said it had been an ongoing problem ever since.

"ABC is bad; we've got no Channel 7 at all," Mr Sleeman said.

"It varies but all the channels go bad; some mornings you can't even watch WIN."

He said reception had always been an issue but when the area switched from analog to digital TV on December 9 the problem worsened.

"The analog used to be pretty terrible anyway.

"It's been going on for over a month now and we've got no TV (reception).

"I don't know if it's council; if it's funding.

"I talked to him (a council officer) yesterday and he said it's got to be fixed… but nothing is happening."

Mr Sleeman said radio reception in the area was also poor.

"You get cyclones coming in - we need radio at least to alert us."

Isaac Regional Council chief executive Terry Dodds said the council was "actively working to improve television quality in Clairview".

"We have undertaken a number of transmission equipment upgrades and we are now replacing satellites (dishes) to assist with ABC and SBS," Mr Dodds said this week.

"If you're experiencing pixilated reception we ask you to contact council on 1300 472 227. We will continue to investigate possible causes of pixilated reception and to undertake upgrades as required."
