DM500HD - select radio channel swicthes back to previous TV channel on Exit

  • Hi


    I have a new DM500HD as an upgrade to my old DM7000. I am using firmware version 2.8.4


    I have a problem with selecting and listening to a radio station.


    I press 'Radio', then navigate to the station I want. When I press 'OK' I can listen to the station. As I use further navigation buttons, I can move around the radio channel list, and the station selected with OK keeps playing. This is what I expect. But if I press Exit, then the Dreambox reverts to the previously playing TV station. So the only way I can listen to the radio is when I have the radio station selection window open, so I cannot set timers or do anything else. This is not how the DM7000 used to work, and it is very inconvenient.


    Does anyone else get this? Is there a workaround ?


    Thanks

  • Thats the usual behaviour... But theres a solution to set timers and so on: Altenative radio mode. You can activate it in settings->customize->alternative radio mode ("setup mode" as to be at least intermediate)

  • Thank you, m0rphU. This is behaving as I would expect now. I should have read the whole manual.


    Best wishes
