V+ Radio channels recording
 

Forgive me if this is old news but i have only just discovered as i have been wanting to do this for ages that you can now record the live radio shows on the V+ box where as you never used to be able to, i can now record friday nights on Radio 1 which is 12 hours of dance music woohoo lol

Only the Samsung V+HD can record radio at the moment.

What are the differences in the boxes that prevent this ?

firmware I guess

The SA box needs a video stream to record anything at all - the Samsung box doesn't, so can record radio.

Re: V+ Radio channels recodring
 

Didn't Virgin promise this to the SA box at the launch of the Samsung box?

Couldn't they just splice the audio with a 'video' feed of, for example, the static logo of the radio station, so that the SA box has something to record?

Not that it bothers me personally - I never listen to radio anyway.

I was very disappointed when I first got a V+ (SA) box that I couldn't record radio as I listen to Radio 4 a lot - in fact I raised a formal complaint at the time about this as I felt it should be made clearer pre-sale. I was really pleased when I found out that the Samsung box could do this. When I requested a replacement box I was told that, as a long-standing customer, they would try to accommodate this but eventually was told that there was no way I could have a replacement box, even though I was prepared to pay for it. Has anyone succeeded in getting a replacement?

The V+ would only be replaced if your existing one had a fault. However, you could upgrade to TiVo, which can also record radio.

ps. Welcome to the forum!

May do that - although it's a bit pricey as I only have M TV and despite what it says on the website it's only available with M+ or higher - so an extra £9.50 a month. I shall think about it though....
