Oh, you think he's complaining about the download, not the message?

Depending on what he actually wants it might also suffice to use -e to
set a really high cache expiry or to use something like
--refresh-exclude=".*" to prevent any channel from being refreshed. But,
yeah, there's all manner of things he might have actually meant to ask,
I guess I'll be quiet until he can actually explain what his issue is.
You may well be correct that he wants television downloads but not
radio, goodness knows. Sigh.
