a lot of those user guides are obsolete as of this morning 8(

basically you want this, which will download the thing in question

get_iplayer --pid=b04mctvz --type=radio --get

where the b04mctvz is the programme id which you can get from the urls of
the bbc webpage for the programme

i've never used the pvr functionality or anything other than the simple
command line scripts so i can't tell much more but...

>> The main site for Get I Player posted this yesterday:
>>
>> The BBC have removed the programme data feeds used by get_iplayer, so
>> search and PVR functions for TV and radio no longer work. There is no
>> programme information to cache, and it was the cache that supported
>> search and PVR functions. There is no fix available at this time. You
>> can still download individual programmes via PID or URL. Podcast
>> searches still work.
>>
>> I've been trying all morning to no avail to get the PID function to
>> work. If anyone knows how to use this, please let me know. I will keep
>> an eye on this latest BBC "innovation".
