It's not radio - I guess my 'Digital Music' heading sent things in the  
wrong direction. These channels are the music channels most US Cable  
TV companies include in their 'digital' package I don't think they're  
'radio' in the truest sense - more just audio with static pictures.

OK - I'll start looking there. Is it likely that if NVP doesn't see an  
I-Frame for a certain period it will effectively timeout and stop  
things ? Is that where  the 'V' letter in the LAGV (?) text of the OSD  
comes from ?

The files on disc in the recordings directory are zero length too -  
does that continue to point to a frontend/player problem ? Or are  
those files truncated on an abnormal stop ?
