Coaxial to Ethernet?

Hi,

sorry if it’s been asked somewhere already, but I can’t find a similar question.

I have a tv box (1008C STB VM) in room upstairs, which I don’t use now. I still have a cable going all the way from the main tv box downstairs, and I wonder if I could use that coax cable to connect my pc via Ethernet port? Are there any adapters/ converters that would make it work, or can this cable be used only with with the tv box?

It is possible to use coax for Ethernet, done a lot in the US, but certainly NOT with VM coax. It’s against the T&C to alter the VM installled equipment in any way.

If you google Moca adapters you will find it’s possible but you need to ensure the cable is not connected to the VM network in any way
