I occurred to me that the above assumes that the "get_iplayer" script is 
either in your current working directory or in /usr/bin (that's a 
restriction imposed by get_iplayer.cgi).  If get_iplayer is in another 
location (e.g., /usr/local/bin), you'll need to specify the path to 
get_iplayer when launching the Web PVR:

get_iplayer.cgi --port 1935 --getiplayer /usr/local/bin/get_iplayer

When I get a chance, I'll update get_iplayer.cgi to look in 
/usr/local/bin as well.
