Advice Needed Record Satellite Radio Channels

I would like to know why it is not possible on most satellite receivers to record what is being played on radio channels.
I have a receiver that does record radio channels, but I am not using it as my favorite receiver and prefer the VU+ SOLO SE V2, but it doesn't have the capability to record radio channels.
Perhaps there is a plugin that would enable it to record.
Thanks for any replies.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Is this receiver recording with a built in drive or external USB item ?

Do they simply refuse to record, or what it does record is unplayable ?

If the first then it may be something as simple as the manufacturer forgetting to include the feature.

If you have the radio channels in aBouquet/Favorite, you select it and you can already record it.
The other way to select a radio channel is with the remote control, on the lower right side you put Radio, press,
You are already on radio, to exit, you have to press TV.

Being on the radio.
Press the corresponding key to display the channels, select the satellite you want with the yellow key and search for the radio channel you want.
You already listen, now you can record it.
Remember, you have radio channels that change the audio track, change channels, in these channels, in the recordings you have to do the same, select the audio track to change the chain.
-------------
Si tienes los canales de radio en unBouquet/favorito, lo seleccionas y ya lo puedes grabar.
La otra forma de seleccionar un canal de radio es con el mando a distancia, en la parte inferior derecha pone Radio, pulsa,
Ya estas en radio, para salir, tienes que pulsar luego TV.

Estando en radio.
Pulsa la tecla que corresponda para que se vean en pantalla los canales, selecciona el satelite que quieres con la tecla amarilla y busca el canal de radio que quieres.
Ya lo escuchas, ahora ya lo puedes grabar.
Recuerda, tienes canales de radio que cambiando la pista de audio, cambias de cadena, en estos canales, en las grabaciones tienes que hacer lo mismo, selccionar la pista de audio para cambiar de cadena.

The receiver refuses to record, without giving any error message.
Anyway, I found a way. Using the OpenWebIf and watching any channel using VLC, I am able to record radio channels without any problems to my PC HDD in ts format.
I suppose later on I can transfer the recordings to the VU+ receiver HDD and it should play.

That's funny. I tried to record with VU+ yesterday, but it didn't work.
Tried again just now and it works.
Thanks a lot everyone.

The recordings, better with the receiver, it has the same name/date order and if you leave a half reproduction, when returning to that recording, ask if you want to continue from that point.
Depending on the receiver configured in the general settings/user.
--------------
Las grabaciones, mejor con el receptor, tiene el mismo orden nombre/fecha y si dejas una reproduccion a medias, al volver a esa grabacion, pregunta si quieres continuar desde ese punto.
Segun este configurado el receptor en las configuraciones generales/usuario.

That's true. The only problem is that radio channels (at least the ones I use) don't have a good EPG with playlist, so I would have to let it record for a while and then then it will show only the title of what was on the playlist when I hit the recording button.

Some have the programming on the web of the chain.
Algunas tienen la programacion en la web de la cadena.
