Sorry in advance if this is as much an A/V question as a networking one. I just recently set up a MoCa network, and it got me to thinking about the possibilities of using coax for other purposes too. Attached is a rough diagram of my network (sorry for the hokey picture). I don't use cable TV (just internet) and I'm wondering if I could take the output of my BD3600 set top box and put it over coax on one of the TV channels so I could use it for the TV in the bedroom.

As far as I can understand that'd mean converting component to coax, and feeding it into a splitter in the media room (since the coax is already connected to the MoCa bridge). I'm not sure if that'd work, and how to decide what channel I could put it on. Additionally, even though I'm not using cable TV, I'm guessing I'm still getting the channels, so whatever I put on there would likely interfere. Am I on the right track? Any helpful hints as to whether this is possible and what hardware to use would be greatly appreciated.

Should work using a RF modulator, something like this
Plug RCA A/V from BD3600 to RF Mod. and then output of that to co-ax splitter. In your bedroom use a splitter to connect MOCA bridge and TV.
