Hi Richard,
Many thanks.
I usually get the pid by finding the programme using beeb website and 
that is what I did last night, which gave me the podcast pid which I 
used without further thought or examination.  I did notice however that 
the "More Episodes" offering on the website last night was "confused," 
offering the incorrect series and episode numbers and other errors.

Today all is well and the website is as usual.  The wanted pid comes up 
and I have downloaded it using --radiomode=better.  All OK except that 
file sixe is slightly smaller than last night's effort (39.8 MiB vs 40.1 
MiB).  Both used dafstd1 so no idea why different unless beeb use 
different edit of master.

All this explains my getting the podcast not original last night but not 
why the pvr didn't work.
More work required by me I fear.
Thanks again.
