Yesterday I noticed the Guide on my Wireless Joey 4 looked different. Today the Mrs mentioned it too.
Here is my H3 Guide.

And here is the Guide on my wireless Joey 4.

Previously my memory seems to think they were the same.

We prefer the Hopper 3 Guide but there is nothing I can find on the J4 that allows me to revert it to what it was.

Putting the description of the highlighted station at the top reduces the available channels in view from 8 to 6 and makes it slower to page up/down through channels looking for something/anything.

AND notice only 2 hours of programming are shown on the J4 whereas the Hopper 3 shows 2 1/2 hours.

Look at all the wasted black space at the top.

Hopper is on software H702, J4 is on P62703.

We still got the hopper 3 guide on our joey 4
This is on my wireless Joey 4.

Is the lady that helps with Dish problems still on the forums?

I spent about 45 minutes talking with Dish support about how much worse the "new" guide is than the original one.

I have left complaints with several dish employees and perhaps if we let them know that their new guide is not so terrific, they might give us back the 2 1/2 hour eight line guide.
