Hello Forum Members. This is my first post. For your reference I understand IP networking and router tables very well. I do NOT understand satellite technologies.
I am currently designing my 2nd gen whole house A/V solution. I turned on DirecTV Whole-home netwoking and I believe my CCV is faulty. Instead of just pop and swap, I decided to research set top networking.
I would really appreciate one of you more knowledgeable folks to validate my thinking or correct it. I'm happy to spend a little money to get the best design solution. If there is a "better" way, please let me know. Thx.
Current environment:
SWiM 5 LNB Dish
18 AWG RG6 <100 ft run to the roof
Line from Dish into the DirecTV Power Inserter
Power Inserter into Green label splitter
1st port goes into HR24-500 Sat 1
2nd port goes into HR34-700 Sat 1
3rd port unused and terminated
4th port goes into CCK (DCA 2SRO-18)
the CCK then goes into a IP switch and then the router.
no Ethernet into either the HR23 or HR34
This configuration works fine. I do have occasional network issues, but I've notice a lost network connection and poor network connection on the CCK.
This is what I think I need (learned):
SWiM 5 LNB Dish
18 AWG RG6 <100 ft run to the roof
Line from Dish into Green label splitter
1st port (red) goes to the Power Inserter
2nd port unused and terminated
3rd port goes into HR24-500 Sat 1 (no Band Stop Filter)
4th port goes into HR34-700 Sat 1 with a Band Stop Filter.
Wired Ethernet into HR24-500 Ethernet 1 (static IP)
Wired Ethernet into HR34-700 Ethernet 1 (static IP)
Is this OK/correct/best? I like it because I remove the satellite signal from the Power Inserter. I remove the CCK. I have far better diagnostics on my IP network and no visibility into my Coax network (MoCA right?).
I already have Whole-house active so I shouldn't have to deal with DirecTV, right? I'm happy to keep paying for the CCV to not have to explain this to them.
I really appreciate anyone's time to look at this and sharing their knowledge with me.
