If you're using this as a stopgap, keep in mind that it will only give 
you programmes through the previous Monday. So, come Monday morning I 
think your cache will become rather depleted again and most searches 
will fail.  For programmes like Doctor Who with series stacking, the 
latest episode may be available even if older.  And of course, this 
breaks the "future" in --refreshfuture, though I doubt anyone is 
concerned about that at the moment.
