[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1117389, member: 141969"] I have also noticed this limitation with MP's support for DVB-T radio broadcasts (I do quite a bit of radio recording). Other limitations are: (1) MP does not remember the resume point for partially-listened radio recordings. (2) "Skip Forward" and "Skip Backward" are not supported (only "Fast Forward" and "Fast Rewind" are supported). (3) Jump to offset "hh:mm" from start of recording is not supported. (4) "Play" button on remote control irritatingly resets play to the start of the recording. Hence, when pausing playback, and then resuming playback, one [i]must[/i] resume by pressing the "Pause" button again, otherwise play restarts from the beginning. :eek: (5) Support for manual TV recordings on the "Advanced" tab would benefit from more choice over the duration. Start times can be selected in 5-minute intervals. but durations can be selected only in 30-minute intervals, which is too coarse; durations should also be selectable in 5-minute intervals. And, of course, radio support should inherit this improved capability. :) (6) In MP, TV and radio are kept separate [i]except[/i] on the "Scheduled Recordings" panel, where both are listed. I think that this is the correct design, because users with only a few tuners need to see [i]all[/i] scheduled recordings, to see if there is going to be insufficient tuners for a recording that the user is about to schedule. However, with the default set-up there is no way to schedule a radio recording from the "Scheduled Recordings" panel, because one cannot access the radio EPG from the "Scheduled Recordings" panel. I have edited my set-up to allocate an unused button on the remote control to display the radio EPG, but that ought not to be necessary -- the default set-up should support this. Solution: add "TV EPG" and "Radio EPG" as selections in the left side bar of the "Scheduled Recordings" panel. (The solution of using an unused button on the remote control should probably be left up to the user to decide, since only the user knows [i]which[/i] buttons are unused.) -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
