Welcome to the board

I don't believe this is possible using GBPVR, not even sure if there is a plugin for it - might be worth a quick seach in the wiki though?

It is not really recording, but in the default recordings directory you can find 5 Net radio buffer files named gbnetradio-x.mp3 where x ranges from 0-4. numebers assigned on a round-robin basis. A very very poor man's recorder, which sometimes suits the purpose. I used it once to make a collection of 50's music of a couple of hours for a partie.

hmm thats kinda confusing... anyways I was reading the wiki and I did some configuration but i dont know how to get this screen:

The old user interface (GBPVR.exe) had FM Radio support. The new user interface (PVRX2.exe) doesnt have FM Radio support. It may get it in future, but it was the bottom of my priority list, so hasnt been implemented yet.

oh I see, is it still possible to download that old version?

I don't think you can but I can make a recommendation to try if you are interested. You can find Freecorder here: http://www.freecorder.com/freecorder3/in...google.com
It does add a toolbar and I tried it on a computer that has onboard audio which some have not had good luck with.
Personally, I use Roxio Easy Media Creator Audio Capture but as you have to buy the whole suite of programs ($69 or so) it's not worth it just for what you want.
Another idea that I'm not positive about is Audacity. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

GBPVR.exe is still installed with the current release. Both version of the UI have been installed for since the new UI was introduce about 7 months ago to give people a chance to migrate over. It wont be installed with any future releases though.

My cableco Rogers rebroadcasts 20 FM channels as digital QAM and I manually added the stations I want using config.exe and just use the TV guide to record programs I listen to. They are ac3 audio and sound great via the pch. I would never back to the poor quality on the pvr 150.

We had discussed this over at byopvr.com a while back. I have never tried it (I actually meant to but got busy with other things) but someone over there said they had tried this software and it was very good for recording radio. They really advertise it as integrating with MCE but I'm fairly certain that you can use it with other software or just on it's own.

Here's the discussion over there TSAT Kevin gives a nice little review of it.
