Howdy,

Prior to the installation of a whole home PVR setup, I was getting about 400 Mbps transfer speeds with my ECB6200s. Now after the whole home setup, I'm seeing about 10 Mbps. Is there anything I can do to get my speeds back up to where they should be?

Thanks.

Wow, how many splitters did they use? Call back the installer and ask it be done right.
 
2 splitters used to accommodate 4 tvs .. One with 3 outputs so one of those outputs connects to another splitter which has 2 outputs.

Installer had no idea what the ecb6200 was.
 
splitters drop the Tx/Rx power quite a bit... on a 1 to 2, it's about 3.5 dB hit...

I recently re-did my entire Coax install here at the house (from demarcation to end-points) removing several splitters, and 30+ year old Coax (two previous owners, three added drops, etc...) - world of difference... went from multiple errors on the cable modem to 2 over the past week, much cleaner analog cable channels (yes, my provider does still do that), cable boxes were much more stable... night and day difference, should have done it years ago...

How did I get into trouble here - same as many - just keep adding drops, splits, services... things run fine until they don't...

Pardon my ignorance, but what do you mean by "choose frequency span" (how would I do that)?

MoCA devices (and the PVR devices) will generally operate in 1 of a few different 'ranges' (called bands) of frequencies on the coax. If two different systems (the PVR network and the MoCA network) are both operating on the same or overlapping frequencies, they can interfere with one another. Some devices have settings or a procedure to follow that will cause them to use different frequencies and eliminate (or lower) the chances of interference and degradation of service. You will need to determine how to go about changing the frequencies that your PVR network or your MoCA network devices operate on as part of your troubleshooting.
 
Slightly off-topic - heard the other day on a tech podcast that carrier provided DVR/Set-Top boxes - it's supposedly doing MOCA to facilitate the DVR functionality - any truth to that?

Thanks for the explanation. I had a tech come out and put a filter between the ECB6200 coax out and my tv lines in and I'm back to where my speeds should be.
