How do I set a timer for a radio channel using the browser interface?

Title says it all - setting a timer for a radio channel using the TV/remote control UI is hard enough - is it possible via a web interface? I need to be able to record radio just as easily as I can record TV, and need to be able to set up either timer over the web.

Box: VU+ Duo 2, with latest (at Aug '14) Blackhole image, and using both sat and terrestrial inputs.

Thanks for any guidance,

James
 
@jasjas : Hard to set radio timer? :lol:
Menu>Timer>Green Add>Channel (select your Radio channel - press Radio on RCU in channel list)>Set Start and End time>Green OK

Much easier is when your Radio channel has an EPG : Radio on RCU>EPG>Add Timer...
 
Thanks for your useful reply, but I was specifically wondering how to do this using the web interface. The only channels showing when I go to the normal timer page are TV channels. When you go to the radio bouquet on the browser, and bring up the radio EPG pop-up, yes there is a timer button (clock icon) but it does not seem to do anything.
If perhaps the web UI does not work, is there a more low-level way to set up a radio timer?

Sorry for Italian :). I'm a bit confused. You are right, isn't working.
 
Do you know of any other way to remotely set a timer to record a radio programme - even by editing some file by hand?
 
Fantastic! - I thought you were referring to the physical remote control. I had no idea that the virtual one was fully functioning, with screenshots etc. Really useful (if slow). I also did not know the trick of clicking "Radio" to get a radio channel to record from. It does seem to be difficult to select characters to type in the description box, but this is very minor. I would use the EPG, but have a separate problem (sep thread) where the EPG text is all garbled and unreadable. Another minor point is that the remote control image is out of date - my physical one is the newer one with the curved end and different layout. There are many clearer images on the web if, say, "audio" is indistinguishable from "radio".
Many thanks.
