Martin,

Just checked using one of the API keys I got yesterday, it is behaving 
as is yours, works every 1 out of 5 or so refreshes on the URL. My 
original key works everytime.

Looks like the API key checking routine at the metabroadcast end has 
problems in that it sometimes validates ok and not at other times, which 
would be consistent with what we are seeing.

Mike
