[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1283110, member: 141969"] I record on average about one radio programme [i]each day[/i] from DVB-T/T2 :eek:. This is for timeshifting purposes -- I rarely keep any radio recordings long term. But sadly, recording or listening to radio from DVB-T/T2 is a minority pastime. :( As you have noticed, "TV Server" supports radio channels, but that does not mean that MP2 provides support for radio channels to the MP2 skin. And even if MP2 [i]does[/i] provide this support, the skin author may have decided not to allow access to DVB-T/T2 radio, because it has so few users :(. Or, the skin author may have provided support, but hidden it away on some subsidiary panel so that it does not occupy space on any of the main panels. The screen shots below show the "DefaultWideHD" skin that is part of [b]MP1[/b]: [LIST] [*]Screen shot 1 shows the "Home" panel. Notice that "Radio" appears [i]nowhere[/i]. However, radio [i]is[/i] supported, but you access it by selecting the "Root Menu" choice. [*]Selecting "Radio" on screen shot 2 gives (on my setup) a list of radio-channel groups (screen shot 3). [*]Selecting a radio group then shows a list of radio channels, and selecting one of those will start that channel playing (screen shot 4). [*]To access radio recordings, you use the left side menu (screen shot 5), and select "Recordings". You then see screen shot 6. (Note: I have edited my string-constants file, and "Recordings" appears as "Title" in the screen shot.)

If MP2 simply does not support radio, you will need to decide how important radio support is compared to the other things that MP2 provides.
