"It appears that this is the default even if you only want Radio progs - Its never done that before."

I noticed this some months ago (after last December's fiasco?), on the rare occasions when I've opened the CLI and haven't refreshed cache recently.


"That is the cache appears to have been refreshed with TV progs - BUT failed to list them!!!"

Stupid question, maybe, but your "Programme type BBC TV" is ticked, isn't it, (in the web PVR)?


I recently had a problem with the "Exclude Programmes" cookie no longer being retained in Firefox (still isn't, even deleting full cookie and re-adding options).  Maybe your old settings have gone askew.  (I got around my problem by adding an "exclude" list in the options file).

Just updated both caches in web PVR with no problem in Vista / Windows 6.0 / Windows Longhorn / still-works-better-than-Linux :-)
