The radio stations could easily be added to the EPG, in the same manner as the FAST channels, however you still wouldn't be able to record them as they are streamed.
VM's TV360 and Stream boxes run on the Horizon firmware which was developed by Virgin's parent company Liberty Global for their other European cable operations which ceased carrying radio in a linear format with the onset of the digital switchover almost two decades ago.
The Netherlands (Ziggo) became the first country to switch off its analogue terrestrial television network and completed the digital switchover on 11th December 2006.
The radio stations are streamed via the BBC Sounds app and also via the Radioline app - which are also available on the V6 boxes.
