![]() Only problem is the modulator would make that solution rather expensive. ![]() Then the whole DirecTV "experience" would merely be one extra channel along with all my OTA channels. I'd put the DirecTV box in the attic, along with a Next Generation RF remote extender (so the remote control could still operate the DirecTV box) and an ATSC RF modulator. BTW, if I were going to do this "right," I wouldn't bother with diplexing at all. Heading north to try to catch a glimpse of the total eclipse Monday.Įdit: I did get to watch the eclipse. Those block power on the UHF side, so they are not recommended unless you are diplexing a non-power-carrying branch of your DirecTV "tree " but that was the case in my in-laws' guest bedroom and I wanted the option of adding an antenna preamp to try to improve those Tulsa channels. The DirecTV box works fine as far as I could tell, and I got two VHF channels from OKC and three weak ones from Tulsa. It actually does work, although it's probably not worth the effort unless there's a must-have subchannel on VHF in your area that DirecTV doesn't have. In searching I found that DirecTV uses Band E :Īnd Dishnet uses Band F, so be careful choosing DVR's UHF "TV OUT" and may or may not be compatible with OTA Antenna via "SUPER HOME NODE" depending on OTA Freqs and occupied MoCA Freqs]:īTW: Just to keep things INTERESTING, they CHANGED the Band Designations from what they were in MoCa 1.0, where each sequential letter designates ever higher group of Frequencies, with the HIGHEST Freqs being "Old Band G" and "Old Band H":įinally got the chance to try this. There IS NO "Band G" defined in MoCA 2.0. Bands:Įxtended Band D (1125 MHz-1675 for CATV), "MoCA 2.0" and "MoCA 2.0 and 2.5, Aug2016" Specs define fol. So I'd like to know which systems use which bands, just to know what's theoretically possible.įol. But band F would allow UHF up to roughly 575 MHz (roughly OTA channel 30 or cable channel 80). Obviously bands E and G are completely incompatible with OTA UHF frequencies, so the only OTA diplexing possible would be with VHF. But MoCA added three different bands in the 500-850 MHz range, and it seems some limited diplexing may still be possible, depending on which band is used: Yes, I know that poses a problem for the few of us who used to diplex satellite and OTA or cable signals. Yes, I know that MoCA added new, lower frequency bands for satellite TV use, since the original MoCA frequency bands conflicted with traditional satellite LNB frequencies. This is a seemingly simple question, but it's apparently also a massive secret! My guess would be that Dish uses band F while DirecTV uses E or G, but I can't seem to find out for sure! Does anyone know?Ī Google search for "DirecTV MoCA frequency band" returns many pages but little more than very basic info.
