Thanks Nick, I have that set now.  There was another one there though 
with blank name so wasn't apparent that it was there until I added the 
one just now, it was getting some US data and could well be the source 
of my difficulties getting it going last night.  Given the daily update 
frequency, I will know fairly soon if all is well.
