Trying to find some info about using Moca network adaptors here in the UK.

currently using some plug in powerlines and steadly getting worse speeds of about 80mbps now compared to 120 when i first got them. wife has overrulled getting any new cables in the house/floorboards oroutside of the house so im thinking Moca is the way to go.

I'm not finding a lot of info on some of the finer things for the uk side of things as a lot of info is stuff directly realted to the Americans.

i have 5 runs of tx100 coax going into the loft with a antiference ms06 splitter thats rated from 470 to 790, so i guess il have to change the splitter but the cables look ok. not sure if i need a POE filter from splitter to ariel? im guessing il need soem moca splitters from the coax plates to split the networking and tv signal?

any help/insight would be helpfull?

You won't find much about it in the UK simply because UK homes were never traditionally wired up with high quality coaxial cable to each room as part of their construction, ready to be hooked up by the cable company, so there was never a market for it.

There's no reason MoCA won't work with what you have, it's possible that you won't even need to change the splitter if the filtering is between the input and the output ports - e.g. if all the outputs are linked then MoCA will work fine. I'd put a filter between the splitter and the aerial though, not sure you need to put them between your aerial sockets and your TVs.
