I use it on WHS2011, but not as a service. I have a batch file which I
trigger every 8 hours using the Windows Task Scheduler.

Here's a sample of the batch file:

@echo off
CD /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\get_iplayer\"

set _perl="C:\Program Files (x86)\get_iplayer\perl.exe"
set _get_iplayer="C:\Program Files (x86)\get_iplayer\get_iplayer.pl"

%_perl% %_get_iplayer% --refresh --force dontshowanymatches

%_perl% %_get_iplayer% -g programme "another programme" programme3

%_perl% %_get_iplayer% --type=radio --refresh --force dontshowanymatches

%_perl% %_get_iplayer% --type=radio -g radioprogramme "another radio
programme" radioprogramme3
