Well, after a week of monitoring what is going on I am fairly confident that:
Unlike previously the Web PVR doesn't refresh the programme cache in the background. It most definitely used to ! And unlike previously it no longer refreshes the cache when you restart the Web PVR. e.g. following a reboot of the PC in question. However it does seem to refresh the cache every 4 hours if you open the refresh cache window and leave it open. So I leave 3 tabs open rather than 2 - a small price to pay for the privilege. And they say computers would make our lives easier.

I think there are two issues getting confused here, refreshing the web page on the web PVR (which is a browser issue) and refreshing the cache which is a different thing. I am not aware that the web PVR has ever refreshed the cache, it is just a web front end for get_iplayer and its CLI pvr. I have the CLI pvr running in the background (get_iplayer_pvr.cmd), this does the 4hr refresh on the cache and automatically downloads any matching items from the pvr list then I can use the web pvr as a front end to edit the pvr list and pick nay individual programmes I want to download if they are not in the PVR list. The web PVR on its own only looks at the cache, it doesn't update it nor does it automatically download items in the PVR list.
