TV cache not updating ...

Agreed, Richard, I think we may share the same issue. As I said in my posts 
on the subject, I can download using --pid as normal. I did also check last 
night that my browser could view the schedule page, which it did. On the 
other hand, my browser is windows native while I run get_iplayer under the 
cygwin unix emulator, so I may not be comparing apples with apples. I don't 
use X windows so no proper browser in cygwin but maybe I could try lynx 
when I'm next at the computer.

I don't know whether this could be related, but I was declined a secure 
connection to one website yesterday by firefox, which complained about an 
out of date certificate, having an expiry date about the same as my last 
successful cache update. Could it be a root certificate issue? I know very 
little about SSL.

Thanks,
Jon
