Only you would know.  Do yourself a favour and download a fresh copy. 
Although it rarely changes, the installer should probably be downloaded 
with its proper name rather than "latest".  I'll look into that.

Your old CLI (get_iplayer -V to see how old) apparently still works, but 
that's no great surprise.  Many of the basics haven't changed.  More to 
the point, you've verified that your web pvr is ancient, pre-dating the 
time that get_iplayer was abandoned by its original developer.  It is a 
waste of time to try debugging such an old version.
