I have a room upstairs that does not have cable or ethernet outlets in the room. I am currently using a pair of TP-LINK AV600 Powerline Adapters to provide networking to a work desk.

I am wondering if I could use a RG-6 Coax Cable over UTP Cat5e/6 Extender Balun Converter Adapter, sender & receiver, with another pair of TP-LINK AV600 Powerline Adapter to transmit CATV signal over the ethernet that is using house power lines to provide CATV to a cable box at a TV.

Providing links to the items below for more detail.

Thanks.

I have never seen a device that would be powerline type of device but for tv signals. In theory I suppose someone could make one but I have not seen it. Coax used for tv especially cable tv is extremely high bandwidth. If it were possible to easily send tv signals over electrical wires you would think companies would offer to sell tv to people in areas where there is no cable tv. The areas where you can only use satelite to get tv.

I suspect you only hope would be something like the sling box systems or maybe some DVR systems. They would in effect take the tv show into a computer which could then convert it to a more standard format that can run over ethernet. You would need a smart tv or a computer on the end with the TV though.

I am not 100% clear on your proposed setup and the purpose of a second powerline network.

Still those devices do not convert coax to ethernet. They convert coax to twisted pair wire which just happens to use the same wire as ethernet does and the same RJ45 terminators. So in theory at least you could take say a outside TV antenna that has coax connect them to one of these converters, connect some twisted pair wire (that just happens to be the same as ethernet cable uses) and then connect a second converter and finally connect that to your TV. They can not be used to extend something really high bandwidth like extending the coax cable that goes to a cable modem.

You can not replace the twisted pair wires between the 2 converters with any form of ethernet equipment...even a simple switch would not be allowed.

Very unclear what your goal really is. They do make devices called MoCA that allow you to connect a ethernet cable to a coax cable but this may be the reverse of what you are talking about.

My sorry for the confusion. My goal is to get a TV signal to a room that does not have any type of coax cable in the room. Today, there is no a way to hook a TV to the cable in the house on the second floor.

I am currently using a powerline adapter to get ethernet to the same room, (whoever built the house ran no cat5 or coax cable on the second floor). I was wondering if I could use the same type of powerline adapter to transmit a TV signal as well.
