Hi again Kovid - Thanks for the prompt reply.
However, I still can't seem to get it to work.
I deleted the old "Spectator" recipe, then added the new one (from "Add or edit custom news source" / "Customise built in recipe" / "English(429)" / "The Spectator" ) but i get the following error message -

I had a quick check on the "github" link you provided to check that the recipe I have downloaded is the correct new one, and I think it looks the same (but I am not very computer savvy) .
Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?
(I have recently resubscribed to the magazine - maybe that means that I have a new password / username " Does that make any difference? On Calibre I can't find anywhere to input the username / password for the recipe anyway.)
Sorry to be a pain.
Thanks
