Hi Rob,
Thanks for the reply and glad my experience was helpful if not profound. 
  (I am still trying to keep up with the discussion at the same time as 
doing my books ready for the accountant.)

I later went back to the BBC site and noticed the tab for "Favourites" 
which looked as though it would serve my needs.  Enrolled as required 
and then tried to set up "Opera on 3" and "Afternoon on 3 - Thursday 
Opera Matinee", both of which worked (with correct syntax) on PVR.

I still have not worked out how to set this up using BBC Favourites. The 
BBC site is a nightmare; confusing issues with clips and excerpts and 
graphics I do not need and then not providing the simple feature I do 
want.  I shall refrain from a rant!!!

If any of the team here knows whether the Favourites page can provide 
what I want please let me know.  It would be really neat, and in keeping 
with everyones' objectives if one could use the BBC's own tools to give 
us at least part of what we need.
