I have a STB as in subject line- model PVR6280T UK - twin tuner, HDD.
It records TV channels properly but won't record radio channels, even though
it receives them normally.
The radio channels all have static images on the screen, but the the
'record' indicator just flashes briefly when I try to start a recording, but
it doesn't carry on recording.
I downloaded and installed the updated software when it was offered a few
weeks ago but it made no difference to this problem.
Any ideas how to overcome this problem ? - I really would like to be able to
set it up to record radio programmes.

I'm looking for the same solution.

The main issue with the Sagem boxes is that they are developed in
France where the DTT doesn't use MHEG. MHEG is sent down as part of a
video stream. Hence the box identifies the radio channels as video
ones, as it picks up a video stream, but as it only contains MHEG and
not actual video it can't handle recording.

There is an update being broadcast this weekend which addresses some
outstanding issues. I've no idea if this will be fixed.

I wish Sagem would broadcast an update which would sort out their
rubbishy subtitles. they're completely unreliable!

Hi All,
On the Sagem site the only update I can find is scheduled for May. Doesn't
say if this is 2006 or an old update.
