Hi,

that's a nice idea. I would also like sth like that. But in my opinion it only 
makes sense if you have a small lcd which at least shows the channel number 
or radio station name. otherwise, you would be really blind in navigation 
without tv. 
a separation of radio and tv is a big feature I miss in VDR over a regular 
STB. grouping all relevant radio channels in channels.conf is a workaround, 
but a real split would be much better in handling the rather large amount of 
channels out there.

greetings 
Tom.
