You are not in the USA. This disabled the stores button which in turn
is used to access radio stations (a bad design call IMHO).

Change your Regional preferences in control panel to USA and you
should be able to access the online stores to get to the radio tuners.


Why has MS decided to only show online stores and Media Guide for that
matter only when you change Regional Settings to English US. It seems to be a
rather annoying shortcoming of this beta as I was convinced there was
something wrong with my Media Centre install. Perhaps MS should put a warning
or something beisde the download as no where in the FAQ could I find anything

So the clearly linked Readme wasn't enough ? You *did* read the
readme, given that it's a Beta, right ? Here it is again in case you
missed it :

out about this. I was trying to access Radio functions but now see I can only
get them if I switch my regional settings. Back to WMP10 for me until the
full WMP11 is released.

Come on MS pull your socks up!!!

It's a Beta. BETA. Get over it !
