get_iplayer hasn't worked properly for ages

I don't believe you can at the moment. When you run the installation 
program it goes and gets an old version of the file, get_iplayer.pl

It probably isn't necessary to reinstall

Right-click the link below and choose 'Save Target As' or 
'Save Link As' or similar, depending on the browser, I assume
Firefox for the rest of this
https://raw.github.com/dinkypumpkin/get_iplayer/master/get_iplayer

Find the folder C:\Program Files\get_iplayer

Type    get_iplayer.pl    in the file name box and select 'All Files'
in the drop-down box and click 'Save'

Click 'Yes' to accept replacement of the file

As a check that the command line version works you could try the 
following, this would need to work if the PVR Manager is going to:

Start > Programs > Get_iPlayer > Get_iPlayer 

Select and copy the line below, then right-click in the command line
window and select paste, the hit Enter
get_iplayer --pid b00sllbn --modes=flashhigh

hopefully this will get a Shaun the Sheep
