Can't download _any_ TV programmes even with patched script

[zaphod]

I found I had to delete the .swfinfo file as well, which is in
"C:\Documents and Settings\username"  on XP

I put the old one back and it broke again

old one is:

and the new one:

I think I already had the amended script as I got it for the --acctomp3 
switch
(much appreciated) several days ago before the problem occured
but I'm not entirely certain of that, it all got rather confusing
