I was able to retrieve my old options file from an older installation 
but it was well out of date so have rebuilt my prefs and now have:-

refreshexcludegroups = local
         tvmode = fhd,hd,sd,web,mobile,default
         radiomode = high,std,med,low,default
         refreshexclude = CBBC,CBeebies,Radio 2,Radio,1
         type = tv,radio
         atomicparsley = /usr/bin/AtomicParsley
         output = /home/alastair/Downloads/BBC_GiP_Downloads
         refreshinclude = Radio 3,Radio 4

This doesn't work and my pvr list which includes "Beck" the TV programme 
also downloads several radio programmes with names which start with Beck 
but are from radio stations I didn't want ie:-

32522:  radio, Becky Measures - 01/10/2023, BBC Radio Sheffield, p0gd3ch9
36658:  radio, Rob Beckett - El Loco, BBC Radio 2, m001qv02
36659:  radio, Rob Beckett - Pranks, cranks, and a joke for the Yanks, 
BBC Radio 2, m001r0ds
36660:  radio, Rob Beckett - Richard Osman sits in, BBC Radio 2, m001r91r
36661:  radio, Rob Beckett - Richard Osman sits in, BBC Radio 2, m001rgfc
36662:  radio, Rob Beckett - Richard Osman sits in, BBC Radio 2, m001rp9c
INFO: 6 matching programmes

How may I prevent this which didn't happen previously please?
