I am not a "TV Server" expert, so this is as much for my education as for solving your problem. What tuner devices do you have in your HTPC?

In the UK, our terrestrial and satellite TV broadcasts include radio channels. When we scan for channels, "TV Server" detects both types, and splits them into "TV" and "Radio" categories. But they are all digital channels. We no longer have any analogue TV channels in the UK. We do still have VHF/FM analogue radio channels, but I was under the impression that "TV Server" cannot handle those. This may be an incorrect assumption (since "TV Server" can handle analogue TV channels).

So, where do your analogue radio channels originate? Are they VHF/FM channels? If they are, "TV Server" will be able to handle them only if the VHF/FM tuner device has a device driver that is compatible with the BDA interface standard. (No, I don't know what that means either, but it is the interface that "TV Server" uses to control the tuner.)
