If there's already coax there, why would you have to run another?
Has anyone been able to connect a hopper & joey wirelessly?
I am thinking about switching to this system, but it would be a pain to run another cable to my upstairs tv. I already have a cable running from the dish to it in case I wanted to add another receiver. It was a pain to run that cable & I don't really want to go through that again.
If anyone has been able to connect the hopper & joey wirelessly, that would make things a lot easier

Why you'll need another coax if your house is full of CAT-5 lines and Giga-switches ? 
WiFi is unreliable connection - it cannot support sustaining speed for HD feed(s if AP has many clients).

short answer is yes, people have done it; it's not supported or documented.
the coax is for the ota signals, but I do have a cable running from the dish, but it was done with the intent of being able to add another hd receiver to this specific tv..........way before the hopper/joey came outRasputinAXP said:If there's already coax there, why would you have to run another?
In that case I do believe you can diplex an OTA and Joey together.
No you cannot diplex to a Hopper or Joey.RasputinAXP said:In that case I do believe you can diplex an OTA and Joey together.
So you are saying you have two cables to this TV?bnewt said:the coax is for the ota signals, but I do have a cable running from the dish, but it was done with the intent of being able to add another hd receiver to this specific tv..........way before the hopper/joey came out
One for OTA and one for a HD receiver?
I have two wireless connected Joeys. They both work just like a wired Joey with the exception that you cannot view recordings on an unlinked Hopper, you have to link the Joey to the Hopper that has the recordings on that you want to watch.
My Joey was most definitely fed off a diplexer. From a Solo Node it appears it's fine. I've found out quite by accident that from a Duo Node it's not. Go fig.n0qcu said:No you cannot diplex to a Hopper or Joey.
yes, 2 cables, as you describedn0qcu said:So you are saying you have two cables to this TV?

this would be ideal if possible & then add a diplexer @ the tv end to separate the ota from the satelliteRasputinAXP said:In that case I do believe you can diplex an OTA and Joey together.
It cannot be done, MOCA and OTA use the exact same frequencies, they absolutely cannot be diplexed.RasputinAXP said:My Joey was most definitely fed off a diplexer. From a Solo Node it appears it's fine. I've found out quite by accident that from a Duo Node it's not. Go fig.
Then you have a cable that can be used for the Joey already in place.bnewt said:yes, 2 cables, as you described
What is XiP813's MOcA freqs ?n0qcu said:It cannot be done, MOCA and OTA use the exact same frequencies, they absolutely cannot be diplexed.
Same experience here except with only one wireless Joey. Works great even clear across the house with several walls and obstructions and the likes. Running multiple clients is no problem with 802.11n. It also helps that I have 2 expensive directional antennas as well."n0qcu" said:I have two wireless connected Joeys.

650-875MHz."P Smith" said:What is XiP813's MOcA freqs ?
So nothing above UHF channel 43.

What is your OTA freqs ?n0qcu said:It cannot be done, MOCA and OTA use the exact same frequencies, they absolutely cannot be diplexed.
54-88MHz, 174-216MHz and 470-806MHz are used for OTA.P Smith said:What is your OTA freqs ?
Then there's 2-way radio and cellular communications at 824+MHz.
It has been reported that diplexing OTA either before OR after the node will both kill the MoCA signal.
