MOCA is great if you have coax running all over the place. Reading about it, one thing wasn't clear to me - can you use a run of coax both for tv (e.g. DirecTV) and data? For instance, if I have a run of coax to my TV, do I install a splitter and run one split to the TV via coax and the other through an ethernet adaptor to get data? And then on the other end split it and run another ethernet adaptor to my router? It's probably my misunderstanding of how MOCA works, but I don't see the advantage, unless you are using Verizon FiOS where your TV is coming over your fiber connection and you already have coax run to your TV STBs. I have one homeplug and it is working great. It solved a problem I had with a SB Boom in my kitchen that was getting slammed with interference from my microwave. -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 3 Booms, 1 duet, 1 receiver.
