I think one of the problems originally mentioned was that the Sky satellite provider in the UK did a reshuffle and moved the radio stations to four digit channel numbers beginning with 0.
I'm fairly sure the PVR150 blaster software won't generate these anyway. Just checked and with haupblast it only sends the last three digits.
You can configure with blastcfg for four digits, but then the pvr150 will always send a leading 0 with the normal video channels. So with a PVR150 blaster TV and Radio are incompatible.

It used to sort of work if you used live tv, but I guess something changed a long the way that meant doesnt any more going by the comments above. I never test anything radio related, so I'm not sure when that might of happened.
That's a shame sub as it's the biggest thing missing in gbpvr for me! Without it I have to keep my set top box!

Could it be the file size detection logic? I had a go at adding a "radio only" mode to the SS2Recorder plugin a while ago; it usually worked with recordings, but not in "Live TV mode".
I think my conclusion was that GBPVR decided that an "audio only" mpg file was too small to be the result of a proper recording, and therefore tended to abort it. I did have some success making it work with higher bit rate DVB-S stations (presumably the "Live TV" mpgs in these case were big enough to go over the detection threshold). So might a quick fix be giving an option to disable the size detection?
The attached log shows what I mean; the first "Live" attempt works, the second two fail. In each case an "audio only" mpg of around 200kb is created (but it's still detected as zero).
