I purchased one of the Actiontec coaxial to ethernet converters.

I installed by taking the active coaxial from back of FIOS satetellite box and put it to coaxial in for the actiontec coaxial to ethernet converter box.

I then ran a seperate coaxial line out of actiontec unit to fios box.

Ethernet works greats now however my TV now isn't getting a signal.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Do I need to put a splitter in place anywhere?


Thanks

OK...assuming you have Fios TV elsewhere in the house...

Reconnect everything as it was.
In that other room where there is a coax cable, that's where the new splitter goes.
1 leg goes to the existing FIOS box in that room, the other leg goes to the ActionTec MOCA device.
Cat5e cable out of that MOCA device, and poof...ethernet signal in that room.

I have FiOS and one of those MOCA devices.

No, you just need to plug the MOCA device in to another coax port elsewhere.
Plug the cable back into the Fios TV box.

The ethernet signal is already in the coax wiring. You just need the MOCA device, plugged into coax in another room, to convert that to something a PC can use directly.

Thanks for the feedback... since I don't have another free coaxial elsewhere... if I use a 1 ghz splitter... have 1 goto the actiontec and the other to the fios tv that should work as well?

In whatever room you want the ethernet signal, a 1-2 coax splitter.
1 leg to the existing box, 1 leg to the MOCA device.
