I've never used the PVR and don't know what's normal, but... in:


>DEBUG: get_iplayer options: "thumb=0" "versionlist=default" "subtitles=0"
"type=tv,radio" "force=0" "skipdeleted=0" "history=0" "refreshfuture=0"
"hide=0" "modes=default" "search=.*" "fields=name" "future=1" "nopurge=1"

that "search=.*"   looks to me like a 'regex' (pattern definition) that will
match absolutely everything.  

I don't know where the value would come from.
