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.
Not sure I understand these questions in this thread, but I have a Hopper3 without Plus (but with the Android interface), and numerous Joey 4's which all have the Android interface. When I turn on the TV they do load up the "home" screen with tiles, but the last channel viewed is playing in the background. I just have to hit Back or Cancel to get to whatever was on when the TV was turned off the last time.
Also, the setting is still there for Recall to go to Last Channel, or Last Channel plus 6 previous but I'm not sure if that's what you are talking about here ....
