Re: Would this conflict with an active cable signal? said by BSD24:mysteryfiostech - I know they use MOCA... But if you have CATV from Comcast (for example) and Fios for internet, then using common sense the lines shouldn't be combined. They should run seperatly. If you combined them that could cause problems possibly. Thats exactly my question. If this type of product is being deployed by Verizon for FIOS installs, what happens to the people who mix and match services (FIOS for internet, TWC for TV, etc.)? Furthermore, what happens if you are a "mix and match" customer, and THEN you go out and buy this product?? Would you introduce triple interference into the coax?

New York, NY | said by BSD24:wifi - the technicians (for both companies) should keep everything seperate. "Should" is the operative word, but how would that work out in practice? Would the techs need to test the coax before install, and then make sure to use a different band then is currently being used (is that even possible??)? Furthermore, if you are installing this DLink gear yourself you likely wont be able to prevent (or detect) any interference. I think the idea of having 3 (or more) different services running over one piece of coax is a recipe for disaster!

1 edit | Well it depends on what you already have and what your using, basicly how your setup is. If you already have an existing line in the room, but you also have a TV for cable inthere, then Fios will run a seperate line up to the room (assuming they use coax for it instead of Cat5e(network cable)). For your internet.
If you have an existing outlet but not using it for cable tv, and its hooked up to cable. Fios will most likely disconnect that cable from the cable service (splitter) that comes into your house and connect it to their Fios system.
If you have 2 coax outlets existing, and one is in use and the other one is not but both are connected to cable tv service. Then Fios will most likely disconnect the cable line your not using and hook it up to their Fios system.
Just wanted to kind of give you some examples. This is why it really depends on what is already setup in your house. Also depending on what the techs find, if a line even if not in use is not good quality for the service for one reason or another may opt to run a new line anyways. But Fios service lines shouldn't connect into the Cable service lines. Both use a "Closed" cable system to prevent signal loss (egress or ingress) or foreign-signal interference.

That makes sense, but what happens if I (the end user) decide to purchase the DLink MOCA equipment mentioned in this article? I would then be introducing additional interference and have no way of testing/troubleshooting it.
