I think I might see the problem here.  The updated get_iplayer.cgi has 
acquired a DOCTYPE declaration that puts IE into standards mode.  In IE9 
standards mode, I see the behaviour described above, regardless of the 
Web PVR version.   In IE 7/8 modes and Quirks mode, it works as before. 
  I'm not sure why it worked for me initially, but IE was definitely in 
Quirks mode when I first loaded the Web PVR.  I can't repeat that now, 
so I must have been hallucinating or something.

There are several options I can think of:

- Remove the DOCTYPE declaration and default to Quirks mode
- Adjust the DOCTYPE declaration to force Quirks mode
- Add a <META> header to force IE9 to use IE8 mode

fs ck: The DOCTYPE declaration was your addition. Does it need to have 
that particular value for any reason?

Derek - to work around this for now, you can try Compatibility view 
(Page->Compatiblity View).  If that doesn't work for some reason, open 
the IE developer tools (Tools->F12 developer tools).  In the Document 
Mode menu, select "Quirks mode"
