No.

The tuner gets it feed on the coax.

Alternatively, can I put the Roamio on both coax (upstream) and ethernet (internal network), and receive a signal over MOCA, but share it to the Minis over ethernet?

Most times when you have a Roamio Plus/Pro and connect an Ethernet to a coax/MoCA/Ethernet setup, the Roamio is going to fight with your Fios router to control the MoCA network and your MoCA will cease to function properly. However, you can have a mixed network of MoCA on the "connect to MoCA network" on your Roamio, i.e., no Ethernet connected to it, and use Ethernet for your minis. Should work fine.

 

I have the impression that the end result is to end up with no MoCA (for the TiVo system), which is fine. There will still need to be a coax connected to the Coax Jack for TV signal, though...

This works fine, but I would really like to eliminate the coax entirely and free myself from only placing a Mini where I have a coax drop.

This is an idiotic idea as the TV signals from either cable or OTA comes through the coax cable.

MoCA just "borrows" the coax to establish an ethernet connection.

 

Is there a way for the Roamio to get channels from behind the router and AP, on my internal network? Is it just a matter of forwarding some ports?

The Roamio has the cable tuners so it has to be connected to coax (nothing to do with Moca there) and some kind of connection for the network (Moca or Ethernet). The Mini's can be just on Ethernet connections though since they are getting their shows either direct from the Internet for streaming or streaming the shows (or borrowing a tuner) from the Roamio across the network.

Yeah, I guess I wasn’t sure whether the TV signal came over the coax through its own stream separate from MoCA, or if it was just IP-based data traffic and MoCA was just an easy way to get it to the Tivo over existing house wiring. Sounds like the former. So my only hope is to get the Roamio on both coax (upstream of all my equipment) and Ethernet (behind the APs), and make sure that I don’t accidentally create a path around my firewalls direct to the internet through the Tivo.

Would be a nice TiVo capability...

 

Tivo does not work with IP TV nor sources like DirecTV, Dish. An example of IP TV is Uverse.
