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

Turn on your TV, with Apple TV connected and displaying the usual stuff.

On your iPhone open both the TuneIn Radio and the Remote Apps.

On the Tune in Radio App screen you will now see the AirPlay logo in the bottom right corner. Touch it. You will see a screen showing the sound is currently directed to the iPhone. Touch Apple TV to change this. Your sound will now come from the TV.

Switch to the Remote App. You can use this to do anything you normally do with Apple TV. For instance select Computer then Photos and watch these while you listen to TuneIn Radio music.
