THANK YOU for posting this - all this new "feature" does for me is bog down my (already slow) HWS's & has NO value whatsoever for me. Matter of fact when I was doing PIP & doing trick play between tuners, it ended up erroring out & locked the damn screen up! Once I switched it back to classic, no more errors & it now works like it did before.

Yes, I never use the home screen. But I don't get why everything has to look like everything else these days. Why does MacOS have to look like iOS? Why does Android have to look like iOS? Why does Windows have to look like a mobile OS? Why does Linux, of all things, have to look like a mobile OS? (At least I can *fix* that one freely, easily and nondestructively...)
A lot of people don't know that and a lot of techs don't know or care enough to change it on install
What is the method to change that? My H3 is already on last channel, but my Joey4's go to the home screen by default.
On your Joey remote press Home twice to get to Menu, select Settings, Select Power On and go to any one of the three settings: Show Home Screen, Tune To Smart Channel, or Tune To Last Channel. Home screen is where you are at is my assumption. Change that to one of the other two. Smart Channel is kind of an AI thing that decides what you usually watch at any given time using your history and automatically tunes to that channel. I personally hate that one but YMMV. I tune to last channel.
Tune to last channel is no longer available in my H3 with the Plus.
I see that. No option for that. Usually just hitting "Select" once everything is on goes to the last tuned channel. Not as wife friendly as I'd like. Overall I really like the Joey 4s, but there are some features that are not well thought out. For example, if you enable HDR bandwidth in your TVs HDMI settings, all output from the Joey flags the content as HDR, even when it's actually SDR. This causes inaccurate color on the TV for most content. If you select Standard HDMI on the TV, you won't get any HDR even when the content is actually available.
The Hopper 3, on the other hand, only flags HDR for HDR content. This way the TVs separate picture settings are properly adjusted without having to change the HDMI settings all the time on the TV. I had one of the product managers say that this was a Google requirement. That can't be true since using the TVs native apps instead of the Joey works perfectly without any manual intervention.
The issue is the same on all of my Samsung and Hisense TVs, so not a TV issue.
It's a minor annoyance, to have to manually manage that. If this could be fixed in firmware on the Joey, it would be darn near perfect.
That option is not even a setting when the Hopper Plus is connected.
I think the issue is with that turned off in settings, it is still showing it. I have mines on but with it off, it still shows when it's not supposed to show.
My H3 has the "new" home display and I am still on H382.
Tried manual update - it says "Your receive already has the latest software installed. SWID H382

Maybe because H382 is the latest software….
DUH, I was thinking it was 383 for some reason. Dyslexia strikes again. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
Good to know i not even gona be bother to try and get hopper plus or joey 4 I have no interest explain that to parent as to why they can't get the home screen to stop coming up and just to to last channel or hearing fix fix fix fix
Yes and in Hopper 3 (software H372) with Hopper Plus (software P12509), when it does the nightly reboot, instead of the last watched channel before the reboot, it always goes to Dishcapes on channel(s) 101 or 9998. This was later fixed after I sent feedback in Facebook Messenger so it would go to the last channel again like before H372.
The Hopper Plus goes to the last channel and does not go to the Home Screen except with H372 where it goes to Dishscapes on channel(s) 101 or 9998 but that had been fixed so it goes to the last channel.
I dont know which update the fix came with , but the Amazon Prime issue on joey side has been fixed after 2+ years of triage. I can actual watch amazon prime app on my joey 4k all day long now and not the the "lost server connection error" which tend to happen after watch just one or 2 things.
After 382 came down, my Joey 3.0 skips to live TV if I try to skip forward on PTAT while PTAT is still recording.
VERY inconvenient!
IF I want to skip the last part of the previous show I must use fast forward to not be sent to live TV.
