I'm very impressed with what I'm reading here about the Foxsat-HDR and I am now thinking of buying one.
Before I put in an order, I'd like to know if the EPG supports a full seven-days listings for radio stations, including the Irish radio broadcasters?

Yet another feature that is better than the old-fashioned Sky digiboxes. They don't even have a Now & Next just a Now.

Until I read this thread I'd not given a thought to using my HDR for radio recording!. So thanks for the reminder. Now I'm aware of it, what use can I make of it? What format are the recordings? Can I copy 'em to a USB device?

Short answer yes. The files are transmission stream mpeg2 .ts (same as video)

Heres how to convert using free vlc player

If you want to copy to CD choose wav rather than mp3
