Directv DECA supported via USB interface
Directv DECA supported via USB interface
Hello everyone, I purchased these adapters some time ago. I didn’t fully understand the comments and missed that they require a device with active USB ports to function. A generic USB charger won’t work. The power adapters can be bought separately, but they’re 110V, which isn’t compatible with European outlets. My question is, what are some compact, affordable items with USB ports that can transmit data? For example, TVs or consoles but much smaller in size. Thanks in advance! EDIT: my ISP’s router only has network ports, no USB.
A compact Active USB port idea with a Raspberry Pi comes to mind. Or something comparable.
Good choice, though a bit pricey for my needs. It seems there are no pi zero units available nearby. The model compatible with 10 euros should work using our USB OTG cables (which I already have). That’s currently the most affordable solution. I’m hoping to find even better deals since the adapters cost around 15 euros.
Yes, an active USB cable or hub connected to a USB charger should work.
I’m unfamiliar with these DECA devices. I don’t understand what they define as an active connection. Wall chargers using fast charging might work, but they need to recognize the connected device through data pins. If the DECA adapter interprets it as a possible active cable, it could be useful—though it’s a risky approach if you’re not sure.
Wow. I thought DECA adopters were pretty average and didn’t realize how limited their options were. I’m not sure about your ISP setup, but remember that DECA devices can’t share the same wiring as cable or internet lines. Beyond that, I saw some feedback on the Amazon listing. To be clear, these gadgets are labeled for Direct TV, a service that provides satellite TV and is now owned by AT&T. So they probably won’t work well in Europe. Regarding the active cables, you’ll need to connect them to something like a game console, computer, router, or Raspberry Pi. That’s the only way they should function. These are just a poor imitation of Moca, designed for satellite TV. They typically use lower frequency bands, similar to what Cable TV uses, but Satellite TV usually operates on higher frequencies. They’re limited to about 100 Mbps.
Previously used rapid chargers but they failed disappointingly
Yes, you can change the voltage from European standards to American ones using adapters or converters.
