Funny you should mention it, I was about to post something similar.
It's been months since I tried to turn on my Mk1's radio. When I tried it last night, it wasn't there, even from the main menu. I was in the car at the time, so in my case, it isn't even a home/car question.
There's only one issue, which is that I'm running a nonstandard kernel compiled by Brian Mihulka. He said that when he compiled it, he wasn't sure if he'd made the appropriate changes between the Mk2 and the Mk1 compilation. I was going to ask Brian if he'd simply forgot to activate the tuner in his Mk1 compilation.
Is there a chance that you might be in the same boat, or are we talking about two different issues here?
Or did we actually totally lose the tuner in 1.01 and none of us Mk1 owners noticed? (In which case, you can lay the blame squarely on me since I alpha-tested a bunch of 1.01 pre-releases and never even tried the tuner during that period.)
