I think you may have misunderstood the use of --since.  As I understand it, 
it has to be used with --verbose.  Without --verbose nothing is listed when 
the cache is refreshed.  With --verbose the entire cache is 
isted.  --since=4 with --verbose limits the output to programmes added in 
the last 4 hours.  That, however is not the end of the story.  The listing 
of programmes added in the last 4 hours is preceded by an enormous number of 
"already exists" warnings.

I am using Windows and the CLI, and what I have said applies to them.  Linux 
and/or the PVR may be different.  Without --verbose I do see the number of 
programmes added.

I think we all agree that DinkyPumpkin does an amazing job of devising 
workarounds when the BBC makes changes, often within a matter of hours.  For 
cosmetic changes it would be nice if there were some consultation as to what 
users want before things which are working are changed.

For my part I would prefer the cache not to be refreshed when the 
get_iplayer script first starts, but to wait until the first command is 
issued.  (Someone did tell me how to increase the time between refreshes, 
which is useful.)  I would also prefer to specify channels I want to include 
rather than ones I want to exclude.
