Dev, you are right, i didn't realize that the hops were the same. I won't know for sure until i get into the new house next week (only been through a few times so I am not 100% on what I can do easily) but if i can i'll probably use your diagram. The main thing is I am second guessing my ability...

Dev, definately understand the wanting the cable modem closer to the service point and I will consider that. I am more concerned about the speed of the ethernet as it relates to streaming media from the htpc to the xbox. Are there any downsides to using the splitters you posted, they all seem...

Its a new house to me, not new construction. Otherwise CAT5e/6 would absolutely be my choice

here were some of the POE filters i was looking at, would any of them work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/PPC-MOCA-FILTER-FOR-CABLE-TV-SNLP-1GCW-MULTIROOM-WHOLE-HOUSE-ANY-ROOM-DVR-SETUP-/170829587975?pt=US_Signal_Amplifiers_Filters&hash=item27c63ca607...

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try without an Amp first and see how that works. I re-did the drawing to move things out of the basement and minimize hops between the xbox and the pc, how's this setup look? Also can someone point me to a link for a good splitter that i can use, i only know i...

Cool, I can look into and amp, have any that you might recommend? Otherwise the wiring seems like it'll be ok correct?

This is a pre-install idea. Moving into a new house (new to me not new construction) and this was the plan.

Could someone please check and let me know if this will work? I want to use the TV out ports from the Actiontec ECB2500C moca devices to pass the cable signal through to my HTPC in the office as well as to my cable modem in the basement. In the diagram, the solid black lines are Coax and the...

If you mean the 1.0 Spec, I can just point you to the posts i got it from on the SageTv forum, they don't specify. Here is what i got from the MoCA FAQ page about the 1.1 spec: "MoCA 1.1 extension has been ratified and offers additional benefits. These include parameterized quality of service...

I did see that DXN-221 kit, I hope that D-Link gets back to you so you can give it some real world testing so we can see how close they come to their proposed throughput numbers. I agree to take them with a grain of salt as far as numbers are concerned, but if the previous throughput of 80-90...

I can't wait for them to come out! looks like the MoCa 1.1 spec ups the throughput to 270 with an actual output of 175. I'll be very interested to see how close their numbers are. Any idea when the Netgear or D-Link products are coming out? Both pres releases say 2008, so they should be out...

For your HD Streaming Smackdown, did you test any MoCA products? Such as the NIM100 that was used by Verizon in their FIOS installs (until they incorporated it into the router) they can be found on eBay regularly and they create a mesh network over your coaxial cable in your house. I am...
