I did a Google search and came across this thread - same complaint as OP, Dish needs to add a way to customize the guide font size.
Just got my Hopper 3 system today and can't say I'm completely happy since this seems like a small, but very important issue for Dish customers.
To clarify, I've increased the font size to the larger size - but it's just not large enough.

This is likely something not to change anytime in the near future. They already gave the option to change the sizes, I don't see them making the options even larger. Who knows though.
Isn't there a magnification function in the Accessibility settings of the U336 software...
I'm not at home, but I did poke around in the settings and I think there is. I vaguely recall seeing an 'icon' for it - there were (3) total. I played with the first one, that one that makes the Hopper read the text (from menus) on screen and it was so bad, I disabled it and backed out of the Accessibility menu. I'm at work so I can't check....
You can have it anytime you want it:
Using your Hopper Remote do the following:
- Press Menu
- Select Settings
- Select Diagnostics
- Select Updates
- Press the Play button twice
- Press Recall
- Select Download Now
- Let it do its thing, do not interrupt it.
No problem.
Here's a bunch more information:

Thanks for the link. It sounds like there are still some issues with the interface. My purpose for the upgrade would be so my wife could read the guide better on her TV. If it messes up some of the features or makes it harder for her to operate, I may have to wait until things get fixed. Any advice?
A lot of those posts are old problems and the interface is pretty cleaned up now. It's what's being pushed to new customers and existing customers little by little so waiting any longer probably won't get you much benefit. It's kind of like waiting for Windows10 to be bug free before using it. You might be waiting forever.

Yes, there is.
Sorry for how dark the picture is. I think you can make out the top, bottom, and left side. The right-hand side is where the pop-up window is cut off on the right.
