Hi Vangelis,
You are correct.  I had not distinguished between type and version.  I 
also now see that the pid I used is a podcast version.  I just used what 
came up on the website without thinking and that explains why I have a 
podcast version not the "original" which I usually get from my pvr cron job.

All this still does not explain why the pvr cron job failed. The full 
stop is not in my list search item which was created by --pvr-add not by 
directly editing and the "=" is put there by GiP.  This search worked on 
previous occasions AFAIK.

If the cron job ran before the beeb had uploaded the file on Monday 
night then it should have been picked up on following days so something 
is wrong with my pvr list setup.  Where should I start?
