As I almost exclusively use the browser-based PVR, setting recording modes
for both TV and radio is simple - use the Recoding tab for your preferences.
I record the highest quality radio as it is mostly music but accept a lower
quality (not much lower in my opinion) for TV because of my poor broadband
speed. If I wanted to, I imagine I could change the quality mode for each
individual recording.

To set different qualities for different radio programmes  may be possible
and I expect Vangelis will have the answer to this using some clever CLI
script. However even a Radio Three 5 hour broadcast of Der Rosenkavalier
only requires 678MB and with the cost of disk storage so cheap, to me it
doesn't seem worth the effort of downgrading recording quality for radio.
You possibly have a different view.
