We use Directv in our house along with Centurylink internet, and I've been wanting to extend the network for a couple of reasons; one the wifi is spotty is some areas and two I have ethernet only devices such as my AV receiver in rooms that only have coax and power outlets. I was going to go powerline because I had heard MoCA is not possible with Directv or satellite for that matter, but then I saw this video. A guy who has Directv showing how he runs MoCA. It seemed be the simplest thing in the world. I'll put the link of the video once I'm done describing 😀 Anyways, he has his modem which connects to his router to give his house internet. Easy. Obviously so do I haha! Mines just a Modem/Router combo that Directv gave me. Then he has a device called the Directv Cinema connection kit.... the DCAW1R0-01. I also have it. What it does is pick up my wifi signal and does two things. One, feeds internet to my main receiver/dvr. And two, feeds the connection through a coax cable to the wall and throughout the house so my other directv boxes can access my dvr recordings. Now that sounds like MoCA to me.. but then again I don't know much. The guy in the video claims that since he has this, he already has a MoCA network in his house and therefore its as easy as plugging in his MoCA devices into the wall and into the coax in his walls and he's set to go. If it is as he shows in the video I could do the same thing and have MoCA throughout my house. I've heard stuff about MoCA and Diretv freq.'s being the same and canceling each other out so they don't work. And other things about the coax lines, so I'm just curious about if it'll work. So my question is, can I do it? Haha! Thanks for taking the time to listen to my rambling 😀
