Many thanks once more.  Strange.  If I run the command you give above I get the following 
in my pvr-list:-

pvrsearch = --typeradio
	fields = episode
	search0 = Thursday Opera Matinee.

Surely this is not correct and it certainly doesn't work here.

I had already downloaded the Rossini but had subsequently deleted the record from the 
history file and moved the downloaded file in order to test the pvr.  Will try again but I have 
always added searches to my list using the --pvr followed by the --pvradd as I have 
quoted above.    
I shall persevere.
Many thanks
