Hi Don,
Many thanks.  Clearly I am a still a beginner.
First, where are these settings saved?  Did you enter them using a 
string of commands after --pvr-add or edit a settings file?

I do have a pvr folder but this only contains a single line for each 
title, no other details. Can I just add these options as you have shown 
for each title as appropriate?  I had been discouraged from editing by 
hand back in the day.

Another question.  I am just downloading using --pid --pid-recursive and 
the files I am getting are huge.  A one hour programme is using more 
space than a three hour HD download of Dune!  I have no idea why or what 
use this data is but I doubt my eyes could benefit even if I had an 8K 
TV, which I don't.  Please can you advise how I should adjust my 
settings to save some disk space to something more reasonable?

Thanks again,
Regards,
Alastair.
