If you can't find what you're looking for with the search function please feel free to post a new question after reading the posting guidelines The DECA units talk to each other over the coax and don’t care about other devices on the wire as long as they don’t compete for frequencies.Please use the search function to look for keywords related to what you want to ask before posting since most common issues have been answered. You don’t need the dish, powered or not, as far as I know. The only question is if DirecTV will sell the DECA HW to you so you can keep using it. The frequencies will conflict.īut if you’re ditching DirectTV and ‘cutting the cord’ to go pure streaming, and not using the coax for anything else, then sure, there is no reason that wouldn’t work.

What that means is if you’re switching to cable, or planning to connect a central antenna to the coax to feed multiple rooms, then probably not.

Both versions of MoCA are being deployed primarily to enable the Multi-Room DVR feature available from all the major Pay TV providers.” Our more advanced readers may recognize that cable TV broadcasts below 850 MHz on the coax and satellite TV broadcasts above 950 MHz, hence the need for MoCA to avoid interfering with current signals on the line and 2 separate RF bands. “MoCA has specified 2 frequency bands at which the network can be operated: High-RF MoCA for Cable MSOs and Verizon FiOS from 850-1500 MHz, and Mid-RF MoCA for DirecTV from 500-850 MHz. Well, it comes down to what else you’re going to use that coax for, if anything, and this from the post: So there probably isn’t a large market for 3rd party vendors who might make a dual-band product that could be used with cable or DirecTV, just one band at a time. The only application of mid-range MoCA I’m aware of is DirecTV, and they supply their customers directly with STBs with native support or the DECA for those that aren’t. I’m not aware of any dual-band MoCA products. And you can’t use mid-range MoCA on coax with cable, or high-range MoCA on coax with satellite. *Except* MoCA is almost exclusively used on coax that is also carrying cable or satellite signals. There’s no reason you can’t have a dual-band MoCA adapter than boosted throughput in the same way. There are single-band 802.11b/g/n products and single-band 802.11a/n products, but there are also dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n products – and the dual-band units when running as 802.11n can combine the throughput of both frequency bands for a higher total throughput. In theory you could have one device that handles both ranges.

So if you’re running DirecTV over your home coax and you want to connect other devices to your MoCA network, such as a gaming console, you’ll need a DECA for that as well as you need mid-range MoCA. And you can run them over the same coax – cable MoCA would conflict with DirecTV’s video signal, and DirecTV MoCA would conflict with cable’s video signal. So a DirecTV MoCA network will not interoperate with a a cable MoCA network. So yes, it is all MoCA, but it is MoCA using two different frequency bands. Both versions of MoCA are being deployed primarily to enable the Multi-Room DVR feature available from all the major Pay TV providers. MoCA has specified 2 frequency bands at which the network can be operated: High-RF MoCA for Cable MSOs and Verizon FiOS from 850-1500 MHz, and Mid-RF MoCA for DirecTV from 500-850 MHz. The MoCA Blog explained things well a year ago: Great, so if DirecTV uses MoCA and cable uses MoCA, it’s all good, right? Not quite. The DECA is just the adapter needed to connect an DirecTV receivers Cat5 Ethernet port to the MoCA coaxial network. So what is it hardware for? Simple – MoCA.

For purposes of this post, MoCA is a standard.ĭECA is DirecTV Ethernet-to-Coaxial Adapter. The standard takes its name from the group, like ATSC. MoCA is a standard for networking over coaxial cables in the home, set by the Multimedia over Coaxial Alliance. Mostly people saying that DirecTV uses ‘DECA’ and not MoCA, and they’re not compatible. I’ve seen a lot of confusion over MoCA and DECA in various forums recently, so I thought it was worth addressing.
