OK, I used the uninstaller and checked all the folders were deleted,
then reinstalled.

Using the commandline works fine with get_iplayer xx --get --verbose.

However, the Web PVR still doesn't work and gives the same error about
flvstreamer. It also shows iphone in the list of formats to try. I
tried using CCleaner to delete the temp/web files in case some old
file was cached but it still was the same after that.
