Strictly causing grief again

Hi,
I noticed a missing episode of Strictly from last week's PVR runs, so
before I entail any wrath of the TV-watching household, I just tried
to download it manually.
I first got this error by running via PID:
```

(flashhd,flashvhigh,flashhigh,flashstd,flashnormal,flashlow) available
for this programme with version 'default' (try using
--modes=flashaacstd,rtspaacstd)
ERROR: Failed to record ' - (b04t73z8)'
```
So I tried the workaround from a couple of weeks ago and set
`--versions default2` - but that told me that the only version
available is "default".
Lastly, I tried the recommendation in the error, and set the mode, but
that fails differently.
```

```
Any thoughts? I just reinstalled rtmp and ffmpeg (on Ubuntu 14.10) but
no difference. Any alternative options I might try, or elsewhere I
might get this episode?
