Hi Vangelis,
I understand your comments but have not yet changed my prefs from what I 
gave above as you confirm they should achieve the same objective.

The bad news is that News Quiz Extra did not download.  I wonder if the 
system is confused because I also download The News Quiz which is a few 
nights earlier.

My pvr items are:-

  pvrsearch = The_News_Quiz
         radiomode = better
         search0 = The News Quiz

and:-
pvrsearch = News_Quiz_Extra
         radiomode = better
         search0 = News_Quiz_Extra
         type = radio

I know the type = radio is superfluous and from before I had prefs:-

Options in '/home/alastair/.get_iplayer/options'
         type = tv,radio
         output = /home/alastair/GiP_Recordings
         refreshinclude = Radio 3,Radio 4
         tvmode = best
         refreshexcludegroups = local
         ffmpeg = /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
         refreshexclude = CBBC,CBeebies

Any ideas why News Quiz Extra doesn't download with pvr?

         type = radio
