I wondered if something was wrong when I tried to get the radio index 
yesterday and found only one programme!

The podcast index still works but then these podcasts are, I believe, 
always available.

I have read but not studied the threads above concerning changes at the 
BBC and I mentioned over a year ago the implications for possible future 
encryption if they changed.  Looks like this may be happening by degree. 
  meanwhile for a non coder, what is the best way find required PID or 
URL to continue to get programmes while we can?
