The DirecTV DECA (DirecTV Ethernet over Coaxial Adaptor) is designed to allow you to be able to connect your satellite receiver to your homes Internet network. With this type of connection, your receiver can send and receive data-specific information over the Internet. This type of setup comes in handy when you are using multi-room viewing configurations in your DirecTV service installation. The process of installing a DirecTV DEC broadband device is fairly straightforward.
