COAX to Ethernet Question

[Smileyg333]

I have an Ethernet cable running though my house, can I use a DECA Coax to Ethernet adapter to take my Direct TV signal from the satellite to a the to Ethernet adapter then back from Ethernet to COAX and to the Box?

Only time you can do this is with Genie minis.

A satellite signal cannot be converted to eithernet and back to coax

The main reason for a no is because the conversion with transformers will not pass the DC voltage to the dish or LNB. Otherwise the loss in Ethernet cable is more than in coax so the cable distance would be less if you could get around the DC continuity problem.

The reason why it works for a mini is because the mini runs off IP signals which the decca converts from eithernet to coax.

They do make a commercial piece that will convert (6)coax feeds to a single strand fiber.
