Does hopper have homeplug?

[Miner]

Pretty simple question, does hopper come w/ homeplug? I know the HIC does pretty much the same but my ethernet and coax are in seperate areas.

Do you not have wifi?

No, I had to change to WiFi.

When I had my hopper installed they did do it WITH homeplug (I really, really didn't want to set up wi-fi). No extra charges or anything. I'm pretty happy with it.

The hopper doesn't have homeplug built in like the VIP receivers. You can still use homeplug if you use 2 devices. One at the router location and one at the hopper location.

I had a similar situation and they ran coax to the room and installed a wall plate at no extra charge (either under floor or outside though, nothing complicated). If you're not picky then this could be a good option. Definitely more reliable than HomePlug.

I am obsessively picky about it, unfortunately. My homeplug works super well. I could go wifi, but would prefer a hardwired solution due to occassional microwave oven interference. Having homeplug built in is one less adapter plugged into an outlet.
