Grundig GUSTB250IV pvr
 
I'm new to freeview and just bought a Grundig GUSTB250IV twin tuner 250g pvr
from my local Makro for £99+vat (the 160g was also the same price). It
seems ok for the money but does anyone know how I access the radio stations?
I can see the radio stations as it was scanning through the Mux's but when
installation is complete I can get all the TV channels but no radio?

I don't know the machine but I'm wondering if the program guide is set
to just show TV channels? Have you just walked it up/down with the
channel buttons?

Paul is right. I bought a Wharfedale PVR recently (a badged TVonics) and
it too didn't show the radio channels, but some digging found them.

As Paul says it is likely that the radio channels are in a separate
listing. Look carefully at the remote - has it got a radio button?

Been through all the remote buttons & settings and the manual also doesn't
mention anything about radio. There is an option to hide scrambled channels
but enabling that just shows the topup tv stuff. After much digging about
I did find the radio channels by manually entering 700 to 723 but I can't
find a way of scrolling through the radio channels or going through a
listings or pressing up or down without manually entering the 3 digit
channel number of each radio station. Will have another play about with it
over the weekend.

I was just having a look at a user guide for a grundig. On your EPG do
you have a search option? apparently you can choose radio from within
that search, may be interesting to see if it shows the channels.
