Thanks for the additional info.  It looks to me as if Firefox is at 
fault rather than get_iplayer.  When you click on, e.g., "Run PVR", the 
web pvr runs some Javascript to submit a form and target the response to 
a new window.  The form submit is obviously working since the downloads 
are successful, but something is preventing the new window from opening 
properly (connected to the web pvr).  I wouldn't expect the popup 
blocker to interfere, so perhaps you've installed a Firefox add-on that 
is misbehaving?  In any event, I can't duplicate the problem in any 
browser, so I'm fairly confident get_iplayer is working as intended. 
It's not much, but here are a couple of other things to check:

1. Connect to the web pvr in another browser.  If you don't have 
Internet Explorer, try Opera.  If it runs OK in another browser, that 
would confirm Firefox as the culprit.

2. Connect to the web pvr with Firefox in safe mode (Help -> Restart 
with Add-ons disabled...).  If it runs OK, then you'll need to switch 
back to normal mode, disable all your add-ons, then enable them one at a 
time until you find the one causing problems.

If a misbehaving add-on isn't at fault, a full uninstall/reinstall of 
Firefox might be in order.
