This is why I suggested a few months ago that It would help if LMS allowed more than one provider of radio stations search/browse function. I never thought of fully replacing the Radio menu implementation. But it could actually make sense. Would you imagine an all different menu, or rather a s

I've just disabled the default "Radio" plugin and enabled bpa's "Radio.Net" plugin instead. Countries -> All -> France results in over 60 pages of radio stations, which is much more like what I was expecting. At the moment I'm getting used to the change of interface, but my initial feeling is tha

Try a known-good substitute power supply first. This is step one with any Classic at this point. Most of the original SB3 PSUs are now well past their projected service lives. If you still require a factory reset to clear a bad setting, press and hold the "1" button on the remote.
