My wi-fi radio is empty!

Something odd has happened to my wi-fi radio. Possibly it is simply faulty, but in case there is another explantion I'll describe the problem:
Switched on this morning and it automatically connected and started playing KCRW, the last station I'd listened to. After a bit I decided to change stations, so scrolled through the "last listened" menu. Couldn't find the station I wanted (though plenty of others) so went to the "station list" menu. Instead of being given the usual options (local, BBC, stations etc) it just displayed "<Empty>".
Tried several times, no good. Did system reset, re-entered WPA password, it connected to the network and displayed "Loading" but then returned to "<Empty>". Checked the procedure for registering the radio with the Frontier wi-fi portal, it says to obtain an access code by selecting "Help" from the "station list" menu. But when I try to access the station list menu, I just get... "<Empty>".
It's a Revo Pico IR, using the Frontier wi-fi portal. Up to the point I did a system reset it still played online stations as long as they were in the "last listened" menu. Now, no stations in the menu so I can't listen at all.
Any ideas?

How weird. I can still log into my Frontier account and see my favourites, added stations etc, but as you say there must be something wrong at their end for the usual menu options to have disappeared from the radios.
Edit: no, it's not back to normal. I'm currently listening to a station I tuned to a couple of minutes ago, but if I try to change stations it sometimes displays "network error", sometimes "<Empty>" and sometimes it displays the station list menu. Something's still not right.
Roberts 83i portal is Frontier Silicon.
On a side note I've noticed that Frontier Silicon ignore any suggested stations to be added to their portal lately, or at least they ignore me lol
They used to email back saying when they'd be added, not any longer. Gives out a bit of a 'don't give a damn' attitude.
Another complaint is they only list one stream for each station. Would be much better if they listed all the stream choices for each station. They also don't list any AAC streams at all, so they have to be added manually to 'My added stations'.
Scrub that, not working again
Roland - For the wifi portal do this:
1. Register an account at wifiradio-frontier.com
2. Go to internet radio mode
3. Go to menu, then station list, then help
4. Select get access code and write it down
5. Put that number into the access code field on the wifiradio-frontier.com website and the radio will then be linked.
