#MOCA CABLE OVER SAME COAX AS OTA INSTALL#
It is worth noting one quick/cheap/simple improvement you can make to your home's TV coax cable infrastructure to help with MoCA: Install a "MoCA POE filter" right before the first splitter your coax cable hits as it enters your home. So in your case, regardless of whether your cable feed goes to your family room splitter first, and then a leg from that splitter goes down to feed the basement splitter, or vice-versa (cable feed comes into basement splitter first, and then a leg of that goes up to feed the family room splitter), or even if both the basement splitter and the family room splitter are fed from another splitter closer to the point-of-entry where the coax line first enters your home, MoCA will work across any of those splitter topologies. The basic assumption is that you have one coax cable coming into your house (either from a cable TV provider or an aerial TV antenna on your roof/attic), and that cable feed is split, through some small hierarchy of splitters, to all the coax jacks where you might want to hook up a TV. But there must be some kind of coax path between the two devices it's usually expected to be a small hierarchy of splitters. It absolutely does NOT require that the adapters be connected to an isolated point-to-point coax, or tapped off the same linear coax bus, or connected to two legs of the same splitter. So it's designed to work across multiple splitters.

MoCA was specifically designed with the ugly reality of existing home CATV/TV-antenna 75Ω coax cable infrastructure in mind.
