Yes you are able to watch DISH On Demand using the Joey. If you are receiving an error message stating the network is not connected then you may just need to reset the broadband or MoCA connection on the Joey. If you need step by step instructions on how to do this please feel free to send me a PM. Thanks!wowsers66 said:I have a hopper hooked up to the internet via ethernet and a joey in a bedroom hooked up with coax. I could have sworn I watched on-demand in the bedroom tv, but now I get a message that there's no network. I would think the hopper would just send the video to the joey and there's no need for both to be hooked up to the internet. I tried resetting the network in the joey prefs, restarted, etc. HELP! Thanks!!
Can Joey watch on-demand?

I have a similar setup with a hopper connected to the internet with Ethernet and the joeys connected to the hopper. I also had issues using some features on the joeys that required internet. Blockbuster @ Home worked, but On demand would not (or the other way around, I can't remember exactly). Pandora would not work, but other apps would.
What fixed it for me was the installation of a HIC (hopper internet connector). The HIC "injects" a internet connection into MOCA. I also had to you use a Tap with the HIC because I installed it at the same location as my hopper. Instead of my Hopper being connected to the Ethernet cable, the HIC is. The HIC also connects the COAX feed from the node that would normally go the Hopper to the Hopper via the Tap. Now I have internet to the two Joeys and the other Hopper in my house using MOCA. After the HIC installation all joey internet based features worked fine.
