Can Joeys communicate via Ethernet as opposed to cable

[MW390]

A couple of years ago I got FIOS installed and the guy did a crap job installing the cable and we got a leak in a room that cost us $3000 to basically redo the room. Nevertheless the wife is kind of not in favor of replacing cable (RG6?). We've been Dish customer since Dec 1998 so I assume the cable is RG5? We had our dish replaced recently so I assume the guy used newer cable from the 1000 to the main splitter. I have a very good in home wired/wireless network (Ethernet and homeplug adapters). I wonder if the cable is run to the Hopper (thru my attic to my man cave) and the Joeys communicate via Ethernet rather than run cables? It also makes it very much more portable if I want to add a Joey or move one. Thanks to all who answer

Joeys can use RG59 in most installations. It's only the hopper that needs RG6 at one TV location anywhere in your home.

OK...great, so the question remains. Can the Joeys talk to the Hopper via Ethernet?

Presently they can BUT, they are not supposed to. It is not an official/supported feature and no guarantee it won't be disabled with future software updates.

I've got the belt and suspenders in place. So both are connected.

The only difference I've noticed is that the broadband data is filled for the Joeys.

I'm kind of not familiar with your colloqualism. I assume by belt and suspenders you mean Ethernet and Coax. What do you mean the broadband is
"filled for the Joeys". High utilization?
