Well , What receivers do you have?
Most likly your receiver isn't connected to the internet.
In order to do the VOD you must have an ethernet connect to your High speed internet.

What model receiver do you have? If it's not a DVR and not connected to broadband, there is no place the receiver can store the on demand movies.

To view on demand, you must first download the movie via the internet using your dish receiver. I think you can do this with the ViP211 too as long as DVR functionality is enabled and you have an external hard drive hooked to it as well.
