Dish Network Receiver....Sling....Questions

So, I have the antenna (SK1000) on the RV. Want to set up receivers and service. I currently have two tv's, and would like hd service on both, as well as DVR. Also would like to have access to Dish Anywhere. I'd like to have the abiltiy to watch both tv's and use another device, if desired. This is what I'm thinking:

For TV's - Hopper 2 w/one wireless Joey

Sling for Dish Anywhere.

Can I configure Sling to just use the wifi network in the RV, or does it have to go to the internet?

Any tips on getting this set up?

As far as other TV goes, I'm assuming that you can also log into the channels website with your Dish account and view there as well.

Thanks!

Having your Hopper w/Sling (or Hopper 3) on the same WiFi network as DISH Anywhere devices (iPad, iPhone, etc) is the preferred method of using Sling.

Why?

Because very little Internet bandwidth is used. However, when a Hopper w/Sling and DISH Anywhere devices are on different WiFi networks, then a whole lotta Internet data is used.
