This is odd. This is my default setting for all pvr downloads, including films. 

So, considering that "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" is in the film category, you must be having a problem with it.

Please post the output of:

  get_iplayer --pid b00s3v0w --before 24

See example attached. I have added "--force" because this movie already downloaded a few days ago here, and "-o ." to save in the current working directory, so as not to overwrite the existing version.

Further to the previous discussion, the BBC are pretty shoddy at actually posting content. HD content is sometimes simply unavailable - either for viewing or for download - because (AFAICT) the batch video encoding job failed and the BBC doesn't bother to check.
