Only one very tiny thing looked out of place in your pvr list (though I 
doubt it matters): the leading underscore in the search names.  Did you 
put those in?

I can't duplicate your problem, so here are some suggestions:

1. Stick that pvr output log on Pastebin (or similar site) and reply 
here with the link.  I'd like to see what is going with the other 
searches, though I'm doubtful it will be of much help.

2. Run one of the problem PVR searches separately on the command line 
with verbose logging enabled:

get_iplayer --verbose --force --pvr _Countryfile_name_tv

The --force option will allow to repeat the download you've already 
done.  You can hit Ctrl-C once the downloading begins.  Delete any 
previous downloads before running.  Stick that log on Pastebin as well.

3. The next time you run your full pvr list, do it from the command line 
as well and capture the log:

get_iplayer --verbose --pvr > log.txt 2>&1
