Vastly improved network speed
In my house, the UHF TV signal is distributed throughout the house by a 12 way distribution amplifier fed from a log periodic aerial in the loft. There is a restrictive covenant covering all houses on the estate that prohibits any aerials other than satellite dishes and these must be fitted below the roof line. My house is in a dip and out of sight of the transmitting aerial some 15 miles away. The signal can be intermittent and prone to distortion especially in certain weather conditions. To provide a good signal to the two main reception rooms I used a SkyQ satellite dish to receive Freesat satellite signals. This meant that the two coax cables from the distribution amplifier in these rooms are not needed. However, a consistent high speed network feed for streaming is essential. This led to a decision to unplug these coax cables from the distribution amplifier in the loft and connect them together so that there is a continuous coax cable between the lesser reception room which houses the FTTP (Fibre to the premise) broadband feed and the main reception room. They are 15m apart. Initially, I purchased the ScreenBeam starter pack of MoCA Network Adapters (ECB6250) and they were an immediate success. Installation is very simple and quick. I had the link working in ten minutes. I was so pleased with the setup that I then purchased an additional single adapter to connect the Office computers to the net. I replaced the coax cable connector in the loft with one of the splitters included with the kits and then connected the Office cable to the splitter. I was delighted with the results. The average of a series of Ookla broadband speed tests using the computer in the office returned a download speed of 941 Mbps and an upload speed of 110 Mbps.If you are interested in using these MoCA adapters I would suggest using F Type cable connectors throughout. In my setup, the coax cables to the distribution amp were already F Type and I replaced the face plates in the Reception rooms and Office with F type faceplates. Also you will need to purchase USA to GB plug adapters as the kits come from the USA. That said, service from the company via Amazon was outstanding and the units were delivered within days and update information was timely and informative.

Easy setup & good speed
Using Virgin media in the UK. This was really easy to setup. I needed 🇺🇸 to 🇬🇧 plug converters and PoE filters, one at the PoE and I put one on the input to the hub5. I left the existing virgin filters in place. I switched everything on and it worked 1st time. Getting 950mb down and 100up on the 1gb service so it's pretty damn good. Highly recommend 5*

Why aren't these common in the UK?
I was getting about 40Mbps with my ethernet-over-mains "homeplug" devices which is slower than my fibre broadband! Heard an American friend talking about MoCA which he said was reasonably common in the US. Luckily there are TV sockets in the two rooms I wanted to connect so I thought I'd give these a go. Although expensive at about £130 for the pair, they are definitely worth it. I now get over 800Mbps via the pre-installed coax in my house (see iperf snip).In my case I receive freeview TV via an aerial in the loft. The signal is distributed via a splitter (also in the loft). I checked that the splitter worked with the MoCA frequencies before purchase of these devices. I also bought a MoCA POE filter which I installed between the splitter and the aerial. The MoCA network worked without the filter so I don't know if this is strictly necessary, but I wanted to be sure I wasn't transmitting the MoCA signals via my aerial.For use in the UK you'll also need a way of attaching the f-connectors to the aerial sockets in the wall. I bought some screw-on f connectors and a coax stripping tool and cut the old TV wires in half, stripped the ends and then added the f-connectors to attach to the input and one of the outputs of the splitters supplied in the pack, then used the coax cable supplied to connect to the screenbeam device. It hasn't affected the quality of the TV freeview signal at all.It came with US power adapters so I also needed to buy a pair of UK-US travel adapters.

Solved my problem
Had to buy some adapters as it’s a US product to make it work in the UK but after that easy

New to old
Ideal connector between old coax to lan.

works as expected
Set up in about 10 mins.I did see some dropouts at first, but this turned out to be interference from some other devices where the adapters were located. Once they were removed, it's been solid since.Used them to put a wired backhaul in for my access points.

Utter rubbish
They increased the price after I ordered it and then cancelled my order! Took my money and no refund yet. Avoid…

Not Supported in the UK by Manufacturer
Be aware that this product is not supported by the manufacturer in the UK, who only provides support in North America. It does does come with UK plugs. Although the two devices "connected" when joined with a short cable that came with the kit, they would not "connect" over a length of TV antenna cable - hence the requirement for the non-forthcoming support. Item returned.
