For info:  I had retuned on 1 Jan and hadn't seen this message, which 
notified a shift of Dave-ja-vu on 3 Jan.  Yesterday, after belatedly 
finding showings of 'Yes, Prime Minister', I recorded two episodes from 
DJV and got two 2GB but apparently unplayable files.  ffmpeg -i and 
mediainfo weren't helpful and I have deleted the recordings.
