The key takeaway from gfunkave's response is "They will work fine for you if you don't use your coax for anything else." These adapters will not coexist with cable TV; they're exclusively for use with DirectTV (or, obviously, no television service provider at all).

IF you decide to try them, you should probably disconnect your internal cable network from the PoE; you may cause headaches for nearby neighbors.

Those DECA adapters are also significantly slower than the Actiontec MoCA adapters, at 100Mb/s. The Actiontecs effectively offer gigabit (10x) performance.
