I've been trying for ages to work out how to get the listings for radio channels. Is it possible? If so, how do you do it?

I'm using MP 0.2.3 RC2 with the standard TV server that comes with it.

    Maybe your provider doesn't transmit any EPG data on radio-channels. But since you don't provide ANY information on your system nobody could possibly tell you...

    I didn't bother putting system information down because I didn't think it was relevant for this issue.

    I've configured EPG for the TV but thought there was a similar process for the radio. Or are you implying that the radio guide sets itself up?

    Maybe somebody living in your area could help if you filled out the "Satelite/CableTV Provider:" field. As I said earlier it is possible that your provider doesn't broadcast EPG data for radio at all...

    I also could not know that you're not using the TV-Server. I don't remember any option to pull EPG data for radio in TVE2 at all. However there is a separate option for this in the TV-Server.

    You see there is some relevance in providing system information ;)

    OK, thanks anyway. I'm not good enough to attempt to use the TVE3. Think I'll wait until it's finished with testing!

    As for my provider... I'm using UK Freeview.

    Thank you for pointing out that my analysis may be less than accurate. :eek: :p Although the change to TV channel 71 may not also have been applied to the independent radio channels (different MUXes), the logs that I prepared for one of the development team does show a difference between channel 704 ("BBC Radio 4") and channel 731...
