Test your searches outside the PVR first and you'll see that they fail. 
  The reason?  Your search string combines the programme name and part 
of the episode title (they're separated by the hyphen), but only the 
name field is searched by default.  Pick the part of the search string 
most useful and use --fields=episode if it's the episode title you want 
to search.
