Is DirecTV MOCA all MOCA?
Both versions of MoCA are being deployed primarily to enable the Multi-Room DVR feature available from all the major Pay TV providers. So yes, it is all MoCA, but it is MoCA using two different frequency bands. So a DirecTV MoCA network will not interoperate with a a cable MoCA network.
What is the frequency range of Moca?
The frequency range is from 1125 MHz to 1625 MHz. Band E MoCA frequency range from 400 MHz to 700 MHz. Band E is generally used by satellite operators to deploy MoCA.
Is MOCA a high-RF or mid-RF network?
Not quite. The MoCA Blog explained things well a year ago: 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.
Why do I need MoCA for cable TV?
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.
Does directv support MoCA?
If you've got a MoCA system in place you have an ethernet connection everywhere you have a coaxial cable. In many systems (like DIRECTV's) all it takes is a splitter to make an extra connection, and with a DECA and power supply you have a network connection that will provide smooth audio and video.
Does MoCA work with satellite TV?
Does MoCA work with my satellite TV service? The current MoCA cable products only work with cable TV, FiOS or off-air TV services. This is because the frequency band which the current MoCA products use, 850-1550 MHz will interfere with satellite TV signals (but don't interfere with cable or off-air signals).

Is 802.11a/b/g/n single band?
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.
Is MoCA cable or direct TV?
Both versions of MoCA are being deployed primarily to enable the Multi-Room DVR feature available from all the major Pay TV providers. So yes, it is all MoCA, but it is MoCA using two different frequency bands. So a DirecTV MoCA network will not interoperate with a a cable MoCA network. And you can run them over the same coax – cable MoCA would ...
