Interesting for those of you who need a way to network your HD DVRs (and HD receivers) but do not have an easy way to do wired, dont want to do powerline, and want more speed than wireless.

MoCA is an answer! It allows you to run network over coax. Dont know exactly how it will play on the Directv coax as far as the signals (I think it conflicts with the lower end of the spectrum), but it should be great if you have unused or offair cable runs in your house separate from the Directv runs.

"Not yet":
"* The HD MediaBridge Coax Adapter is designed for Cable TV subscribers. Satellite TV subscribers can use the HD MediaBridge kit, but require a separate coaxial wiring system."
This seems to be using 1075-1125 MHz.

This is kind of amusing as ethernet started out as a coax-based product. :D

Ya, at least MoCA is pretty much completely different than 10BASE2, besides of course still using coax ;)
