I can't set recording of radio programmes from the YouView app any more.

I was fine yesterday, but today Radio 4 & Radio 4 Extra are gone from the app.

This is on top of the BBC dropping radio catch-up from the backwards EPG too. You can still catch-up, but only through the rather clunky iPlayer NOT the EPG.

Bugger... It's almost like they don't want you to listen.

There was a section on this and other BBC radio withdraws on other various platforms on this weeks radio 4 feedback program 22 mins in.

It comes down to the BBC having performed a software update and taken the decision as is the usage is low and limited resources to stop supporting radio catchup service on various platforms apart from live radio player.

How strange...

The radio channels are back. Maybe it was just a bug & my YouView box & Android tablet got their knickers in a twist.

Glad their not gone for good

Spoke too soon. Yesterday the YouView app opened to display only two available channels, BBC 1 & BBC 2. I had to book recordings via the EPG.

Today all the channels are back. Given that no one else is reporting the same problems I'm guessing that I need to reinstall the app to see if that fixes the disappearing channels.
