Re: V+ Radio channels recodring
Only the Samsung V+HD can record radio at the moment.

What are the differences in the boxes that prevent this ?

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.

Re: V+ Radio channels recording
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?

Re: V+ Radio channels recording
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!

Re: V+ Radio channels recording
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....
