TV & Radio ReInvented
Suggestions & Questions
This is awesome. But I've got a few questions.

I feel like the walkie talkie is missing some important controls. So far, the only way I have figured out how to "tune" to a frequency is to set the freq and then turn the walkie off and on again to actually listen in. I don't know what button could be tune.

I see there is a +P and -P to remove and add presets. But how do you easily switch between them? I don't see a control for that besides scrolling the dial to find when it says C1, C2 etc. but they're easy to miss and since you can't name presets there may be confusion as to what they are.

Radios on cars and handheld radios have the same issue with presets assumed what I think is a default naming convention. At least in that scenario there is a quick button to cycle through all presets/radio stations but on the walkie there is just volume control unless I'm missing something.

As a suggestion for me at least is to just add more buttons.

* A Left and Right arrow for quickly cycling preset channels.

* 'Tune' Button that will tune the frequency. The button is referred to as 'Tune-In' in vanilla.

* Though it's not realistic, for the sake of gameplay and to minimize confusion maybe right click the display on radios to rename the selected preset?

The two buttons above 10/100 is how you switch between frequencies or saved channels. After doing some testing, it does takes a second or two for the frequency to tune into, so you don’t need to turn it on and off.

I have a problem with displaying the interface. I click on the TV and nothing shows, even pressing the right mouse button and on "device settings" still does not show, what can you tell me?

Do you have any other mods running? It could possibly be a mod conflict
It would be awesome to see this for everything like generators, microwaves, stoves, the different crafting stations... awesome immersive mod!
Hello. I installed your mod on version 41. And there was a problem. The radio and walkie-talkies are displayed OK. But when I click on the TV and select "device settings" nothing happens at all. There are no additional mods for the TV (except for the consoles). There are no errors that something is wrong and there are conflicts either. What could be the problem?
P.S. I moved the video folder - and there was no such folder in the game folder itself, so I just copied it and created it.

I like to search for the Automated Emergency Broadcast channel on my radio in the first few days and for the orginal radio, the channel names pops up when you have found the channel. With this mod, it does not show the name at all. While this might be realistic, can I suggest for this mod to have a LED lighting up to show that you have found a working frequency at least like in many basic transistor radio?
If you added camera's that allowed vision in a cone where you install it, accessible from TV's in that house. Idk if possible but that would be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome if I could monitor entrances from my bunker.

Not that I am aware of, might need to use the process of illumination and disable one mod at a time untill it works?

can i add this to an existing save/add to multiplayer?
Yeah i also agree, even when playing in 1440p the UI is kinda small, does it go by font/ui setings for the game or does it scale on its own?
