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?

Yes it includes Radio Ulster, RTE radio 1, RTE2fm, RTE Lyric fm and RTE RnaG all with full 7 day epg

Yes the epg has 7 day programme info including RTE channels

Thanks for the swift reply. That's made up my mind to order one straight away.

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

and you can't set a programme reminder or autoview to make a recording onto recordable dvd or Hdd

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
