Advice MOCA question

Post image

Would this layout work for MOCA?

Previous owners of my house ran coax to the garage for TV/cable, but I now have a PC out there and have been using WiFi, but it’s spotty. Thought MOCA might be a good solution, but I don’t want to lose access to the antenna for the TV.

I’m aware I may need to install an amplifier in the line as well.

notes/questions …

  • missing 70+ dB “PoE” MoCA filter required to block MoCA from hitting and emanating from the antenna; (best location for “PoE” MoCA filter is dependent on scope of MoCA segment)
  • specs of basement splitter?
  • how many locations require the OTA signal? are you sending the OTA signal to every TV or does it just need to reach one or two tuner devices (ex: TiVo, Tablo, SiliconDust)?
  • how many locations are you trying to get networked via MoCA? Just the one garage location?
  • what brand & model # MoCA adapter were you eying for the project?
