Proposed Directv Home Network
This is what I envision as my home network. Haven't built it yet, but in the process of assembling the pieces...
Thanks

Missing Network Drawing
Newbie Mistake, Didn't Attach my Drawing! -
Wow - nice graphic!
The answer is, yes, this should work. I can't say that the speed will necessarily be amazing since your second desktop and laptop will be using the internet bridged through the SWM coax, but as far as I understand from a few DirecTV training sessions, this should work just fine.Been here a long time . . .Comment

DECA - OTA Inter-action
My research seems to be that the DECA's will use the same frequency range as OTA TV signals use! I will need to confirm that the DECA's will be able to "communicate" between the two connections on the SWM8. I understand that OTA is filtered on the second SWM8 port. If this is the case, then the left half of my drawing will not be able to communicate with the right half of the drawing.Comment

I don't see any off-air signals in your diagram; you are correct that you cannot use the off-air port on the SWM if you are using multi-room viewing via coax. DIRECTV is supposedly testing devices to overcome this barrier, but we have not been able to get them or test them.Comment

I really don't think the revised diagram will work properly because I do believe that OTA and DECA frequency ranges overlap. I think you'd need a second coax running around for the OTA portion.Been here a long time . . .Comment

DECA - OTA Connections
I'm having the same thoughts, I've already run a second run of RG6 coax to the two TV's just for this. Fishing the walls with new cable is never any fun...

Status Update - Install
Well, spent some time this weekend to install and setup a HR24 and H24 receivers. Got DECA's to connect to router to a external DECA connected to a HR20-700. Works like a Champ!

Excellent - that HR20-700 installation isn't the most straightforward. Glad you got it working!Been here a long time . . .Comment

Sorry - that's the HR20-100. The HR20-700 is standard.Been here a long time . . .Comment
