[YLUG] get_iplayer [was Re: OT: Doctor Who DVD]

[Steve Almond]

Thanks Paul,

'--modes flashhd' was the missing piece in my puzzle. And --force, as 
I'd already got the 360p version.

That sounds like a pretty sweet script. I'm in two minds as to whether 
my imminent desktop will run Win or Linux, but if I go penguin, I may be 
back for more info.  :-)



Yours,

Steve
