excluding matches in PVR searches

[Bill Denton]

Just tried that and it solves the problem. Thanks:
get_iplayer --pvradd test1 --output "/storage/videos/Videos/Doctor
Who/Series 5/" "Doctor Who: Series" --preset pvr_tv
INFO: Using user options preset 'pvr_tv'
INFO: Saving PVR search 'test1':
        output /storage/videos/Videos/Doctor Who/Series 5/
        preset pvr_tv
        search0 Doctor Who: Series

get_iplayer --pvr Doctor\ Who --test
Running PVR Searches:
Doctor Who
Doctor Who Confidential

Bill.
