Apple TV Gen 2: Adding extra radio stations

I had a look around but most info seems to relate to ATV G1 and syncing it from iTunes.
I have an ATV Gen 2 running FW V4.1.1 and a number of internet radio stations I listen to regularly on my Mac using iTunes are not listed in the directory of radio stations. I had added these manually to iTunes.
If I make a Playlist in iTunes of all my radio stations, I can browse to the Playlist on the ATV (Providing the Mac it is hosted on is powered up) and I can select the play list but ATV says the play list is empty and I should go to the iTunes store to buy some music...
So... anyone know how to add radio stations to the ATV Gen 2...?
Thanks
Andy

The easy way to have the benefit of Apple TV and the best in radio?
Add the free iPhone TuneIn radio app which has all the stations you would ever want - far more than the Apple radio facility and it's quicker to tune in to the stations.
Also add the free iPhone Apple remote.
Tune them BOTH to Apple TV. You can use them both together at the same time with no problem, to control Apple TV from the comfort of your armchair. So you can listen to the radio station you want and watch a display of photos from your library, for example.
It is also possible to blank the screen if you just want to listen to the radio. All using your iPhone!

  • How do I remove an unwanted toolbar?  I added a radio station to my ibook and it set up its own toolbar so when I go to Safari I have to use it.  It involves using Bing for everything as well.  It's very annoying and I want to remove it.

    How do I remove an unwanted toolbar?  I added a radio station to my ibook and it set up its own toolbar so when I go to Safari I have to use it.  It involves using Bing for everything as well.  It's very annoying and I want to remove it.  I can't just type in a URL and have it go to the site.  It takes me to all of Bing's choices.  Also, when it anticipates what I'm typing (incorrectly) and I have to delete it's guesses all the time.  Can anyone help?

    Have you looked at Safari's menu bar > view> toolbars to see if it can be unchecked from there,also see if there is a button to collapse the toolbar on the bar itself.

  • Adding a Radio Station to an Apple TV

    Can anyone tell me how to add a new (Australian) radio station to the list please.
    Regards

    If you can play the radio stream in iTunes via the Advanced/Open Audio Stream menu you will find it's entry added in the Music section of iTunes. Add it to a playlist in iTunes, sync the ATV and this playlist will appear in the Radio menu on the ATV.

  • Adding Fav Radio Station to iTunes

    I understand that only Apple can add a radio station to their "radio" section...why?
    I also understand that it is possible to add our fav radio station to our playlist.
    Having some trouble adding our college radio station to iTunes.
    The URL I use for Windows Media Player is:
    http://www.streamaudio.com/stations/asx/wqun_am.asx
    Anyway I can listen to this via iTunes.

    I just was trying to add a radio station according to the terse instructions on http://www.kdvs.org/listen/
    The iTunes online help declares, "You can't record or save a song from a radio broadcast, but you can add your favorite stations to your library or to a playlist so that you can tune in easily."
    Finally found a way that worked. Once playing in iTunesI tried to drag and drop the icon into Radio. Logical, no? Would't work. The link stays in the Music Library and will not be moved. How in the heck is a continuous radio stream considered a music entity??? Dumb.

  • Adding my radio station to itunes

    I work at a local radio station. We stream our station over the web and we would like to see it added to the iTunes radio station list. How do I do that or who can I contact at apple?

    I wouldn't do that. Like I said, I don;t know if it was them or even if it is them. My memory on the last time it was discussed is very vague. All I can say for sure is that Apple dies not run it.

  • Does ITunes have adding one radio station to favorite list?

    same as topic

    I tried the following from the article you recommeded:
    Step 6: You needn’t rely on outfits like Shoutcast and Live365 for your iTunes streams. Some terrestrial and Internet radio stations offer .pls links from their homepages. You can also add stations if you have their streaming address—an address in the form of http://69.28.128.148:80/stream/radioioclassical_freehi.
    With such an address in hand, choose Advanced > Open stream and add the address to the URL field.
    Step 7: Once your stations are in the iTunes library you may wish to create new playlists that contain them—organized by all the stations you possess (create a Smart Playlist and use Kind Contains Audio Stream to grab them all) or by genre.
    I tried pasting the following address:
    http://old-kdfc.bonnint.net/2006/broadband.ram
    into the Open Stream field but nothing seems to have happened. It didn't show up in the library.
    iTunes doesn't make this easy.

  • Adding Internet radio station to library

    Maybe I'm just really dense today , but I can't figure out how to add a station that isn't already in iTunes to my library.

    You can't add them to the Radio Library but you can get close. If you find the URL from the staion's website, listen to it by pasting it to the box after clicking on advanced and "Open Stream". You should find that it has now been added to the "recently added" playlist. Create your own playlist e.g. "My Radio" and you will find that you can copy the stream over from "Recently Added" to the new folder.
    I don't think you can do better than that.

  • Adding a radio station

    I have already tried putting the URL under Advanced > Open Stream but it will not work. If anyone would be so kind to try, the station is WBAL 1090 AM from Baltimore. Unless iTunes already has it, I haven't found it. And if not, PLEASE ADD IT! PLEASE.

    WBAL is broadcasting their stream in Window Media format, so there's no way to get it to play in iTunes. If you want it in iTunes, you need to urge WBAL to make their stream available in a more compatible format such as MP3.

  • Apple TV Played Radio Stations for awhile

    I followed the advice of one of the articles and was able to listen to Radio Stations on Apple TV, but then it suddenly stopped working. In iTunes, I created a playlist called RadioStations and added some Radio stations to it. And on Apple TV, those radio stations appeared in the playlist. It was great, for a while...I could actually listen to radio from Apple TV. But then after a day, the playlist became empty on Apple TV. The playlist is still there in iTunes, but no longer works in Apple TV. What gives?

    How full is your AppleTV? The priority of syncing puts movies and tv shows before music (playlists) and photos being last.
    If you recently got a new movie or tv show, if they sync over and the AppleTV sees it may need room, it will remove lower priority stuff (music/playlists, photos).
    Have you tried to see if you go into streaming mode if you can access the playlist?

  • Can the iPod Touch play radio stations?

    Can the iPod Touch play radio stations? I have an older iPod and I use the Apple product (below) to listen to radio stations on it. I'm thinking of getting an iPod Touch and was wondering if there's any similar products that I can use for the iPod Touch, or even if there's app that would allow me to play radio stations. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    as already said, most (if not all) of the radio station apps require wifi access, which is fine if you just want to listen where you have wifi access (i.e. at home) but not so good if you want to listen out and about.
    i recently bought one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Roberts-Robi-DAB-iPod-adapter/dp/B000X24UOM
    which is brilliant, but i see you're in america, and i dont think you have DAB (digital) Radio over there. there may well be similar products out there though.

  • New radio stations

    when is apple going to put some new radio stations on the radio section?
    i've been looking for BBC radio 1 but i can't see it on any of the lists! if it's there then can someone pllease tel me where it is???
    thanx

    I've been hoping for BBC content since the first version of iTunes to no avail, if they were going to do it I'd imagine they'd have done so by now. Could be to do with licensing issues, I know they cut any royalty-fee-incurring content from their podcasts.
    The whole iTunes radio section is in need of an overhaul anyway, so many missed opportunities for cool features.

  • Adding radio stations to Apple tv

    I would like to listen to RTE radio through my apple tv. It doesn't appear in the list, can you advise how I would add it?
    Thanks
    karl

    That depends on which Apple TV you have, adding radio stations to playlists is recognised by the Apple TV 1 but doesn't seem to be by the Apple TV 2. There is no way to add radio stations to those already listed under the radio heading in the internet list.

  • How do you get Itunes to go the free radio station list, I'm not talkiing about the one that lists the price next to the song that's playing, I'm talking about the one that lists about 50 diffrent genes.

    How do you get Itunes to go to the free radio station list, I'm not talking about the one that lists the price next to the song that's playing, I'm talking about the one that gives you 50 diffrent genes to select from?

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
    But answering quickly, if you mean the streaming stations, click the Internet item:
    If you don't see that item, checkmark "Internet Radio" in the General preferences in iTunes.
