Trusted by Murrumbateman households since 1981
Murrumbateman is wine-country acreage 30 minutes north of Canberra — rural blocks of 5 to 100 acres, a mix of cellar-door owners, hobby farmers, and Canberra commuters who wanted land. Most homes are architect-designed brick or Hebel on slab, with metal roofs and long driveway runs from the front gate. Palmers TV is Canberra's family-owned AV and smart-home installer — three generations, founded 1981, and licensed for the work on both sides of the border (ACT SEC LIC 17502783, NSW SEC LIC 000108288). We've been doing TV installation in Murrumbateman and the surrounding NSW (Yass Valley) for over 45 years.
Murrumbateman TV installs we do are usually 65–85 inch wall mounts in open-plan living rooms with high vaulted ceilings, large picture windows, and either Hebel or full-brick external walls. Most properties are too far from the Black Mountain transmitter for a clean rooftop free-to-air signal, so we'll often spec a directional antenna pointed at the local Tinderry repeater plus a masthead amplifier. NBN out here is mostly Fixed Wireless or Sky Muster — we set up streaming over the available connection and make sure the family knows which apps will work and which will struggle on satellite latency.
What a proper TV install actually involves
A clean TV install is the part most people only notice when it's done badly — TV not at seated eye height, cables draped down the wall, soundbar handshake never set up, picture mode left on the over-bright showroom default. Our team does it the way we'd want it in our own homes: bracket chosen for the room, centre of screen sitting at the right height for your couch, cables run inside the wall cavity where the construction allows, free-to-air tuning and streaming sign-in completed before we leave.

- Free in-home consultation. We measure the wall, check the cavity construction, and confirm the right bracket type — fixed, tilt, full-motion, recessed, or above-fireplace.
- Fixed-price quote. Bracket, cable runs, recessed GPO if needed, streaming sign-in, free-to-air tune — every line item written down before any work starts.
- Install day. SMS arrival window the day before, drop sheets down, position sign-off from your couch before we drill, mount and cable in 60–120 minutes for a standard single-room job.
- Hand-over. Picture-mode calibration, remote walk-through, written workmanship warranty emailed within 24 hours.
Samsung, Sony, LG and Hisense TVs on the screen side. Brackets from Sanus, Vogel's and Atdec for residential, with weatherproof outdoor brackets where the alfresco actually needs them. We don't push a particular brand — the bracket and bracket type get chosen for the wall construction and your viewing position.

Frequently asked — Murrumbateman TV installs
Do you travel out to Murrumbateman for a TV install?
Yes. Murrumbateman is well inside our service area — we run jobs out there most weeks. There's no separate travel fee for Murrumbateman; the only difference vs an in-Canberra job is the lead time can run 7–14 days because we typically batch rural runs.
Will the existing roof antenna work for free-to-air in Murrumbateman?
Usually it can with a check and re-aim, sometimes it can't. Murrumbateman signal strength varies — we test on the day with a level meter. If reception is marginal we'll quote a directional antenna and masthead amplifier; if it's good we leave the existing antenna in place and just re-tune.
My NBN out here is Fixed Wireless / Sky Muster — will streaming work?
Yes for most services with Fixed Wireless; Sky Muster (satellite) can struggle with live sport and 4K Netflix because of latency and data caps. We'll set up the apps you have and tell you honestly which ones will work cleanly on the connection at your address.
Are you licensed to do CCTV and alarms in Murrumbateman?
Yes — we hold NSW Security Licence 000108288, which covers Murrumbateman for CCTV, alarms, intercom and access-control work. Many Canberra-based installers only hold the ACT licence and can't legally do that work over the border.
How much is a standard TV wall mount in Murrumbateman?
Standard wall mount with cable concealment in Murrumbateman starts from $250 — fixed-price after a free in-home site survey, subject to standard conditions and the wall construction we confirm on the day.
