Hopper Video On Demand (VOD) Setup

What do I need to get VOD working on my Hopper & 2 Joeys?

Internet connected to system.

Now if you would like a more descriptive answer please describe your set up. Which box is closest to your internet. And if you internet at all.

Hopper is in an RV with a WiFi hotspot. So I'd rather plug in Dish's USB wireless dongle instead of running RJ45 cable.

Is the Dongle plugged in and set up?

Nope. Just ordered it from Dish.

The Hopper Network "tile" has these selection Moca, Ethernet Top, Ethernet Bottom, Wireless.

I could only select Moca, but I suppose (hope) that's because nothing is connected to the others.

Just connected Dish's WiFi USB dongle & it works like a charm.

Had to cycle power on the Hopper so it would allow me to select "Wireless" in Network Setup (instead of MoCa), but the Hopper's wireless wizard made it painless & was able to order a VOD movie.
