Note sure which part of the chain these are relevant to so I'd thought I'd ask both here before moving to the correct place...
I've been using XBMC-PVR on Eden for a while now and finally got round to upgrading to Frodo (a painless upgrade actually - only thing that broke was the lack of a PVR Backend ). Anyway since jettisoning my PVR two things have been irritating the hell out of me with XBMC which I hope can be resolved (it would be really annoying for a PC based system to be less flexible than my PVRs after all!)
1) Is it possible to get TV and Radio services presented in the same list / work in the same way?
e.g. on my PVR if I'm watching BBC ONE and want to listen to Kerrang! Radio I simply key "717" and it goes to Kerrang!, if I press "Ch -" it then goes to Heat Radio. Pressing 1 takes me back to BBC ONE. On XBMC I can't access any radio stations without going through the menus, or even get back to TV without doing the same.
On XBMC both TV and Radio stations are treated totally differently. This also means they aren't presented in the channel list.
Should it not be possible to merge them does anyone know how to map a menu item to the radio epg view (which randomly appears when pressing guide, nearly 100% when listening to radio and occasionally afterwards.)
2) Is it possible to get TV channels with no EPG data (e.g. gotv Österreich) to appear when I press "guide"?
(Note in the above the last item for Xfm and Real Radio ends at 13:00 - appears to list the channels provided one event exists on the day).
* The "Guide" button shows the EPG in Timeline mode.
Are these things than can be fixed in a Skin (I now have my own customised one), or do they need some changes to XBMC / hts.pvr / TV Headend or is there a configuration setting I've overlooked?
