Thread: Conn Question

Any idea if an isolator will prevent the isolated receivers from sharing connectivity with the other half of a duo which has IP by HIC or directly to the Hopper on the other side.

Sent from my fingers.

I claim those MoCA isolators don't pass anything other than the antenna signals: not Internet nor Hopper nor Joey video connections.

My FSM absolutely argues the contrary on it passing connectivity... I just feel if the IP conn is in MoCA then it will just block all cross node hopper to hopper chatter including conn. He thinks it discriminates. But it's too damn small to do all that....

I'm with TheKrell. I'd put money (but not a lot until we see it in the wild) the isolator is just blocking the sub-950 frequencies from making it back to the node.

Unless Dish is restricing whatever they are bridging from ethernet to certain Moca "channels" there isn't any way to discriminate unless you had a processor to parse the traffic.

I think the isolator will be a band pass filter blocking the 650-875 MHz spectrum.

Then how is the ip conn communicated to the other recs? In what frequencies even?

Dunno...

I think CAT5 is probably the standard networking cable which is rated for 100MHz. The blocked frequencies of the MOCA are well above that.

Has it been determined what MoCA channel/frequency DISH is using?

650 to 875 MHz
