Unable To Download

Hi Lewis

That output occurs when you're giving a get_iplayer an unrecognised or 
invalid switch. I've just tried
         get_iplayer --pid=p02tw8xk
and it's downloading fine for me. I'm on win7 x64.

The last part of the output tells you it's unable to find the output 
type you've specified:

	No specified modes () available for this programme with version 'default'

So it's suggesting you try alternatives such as 
"flashhd,flashhigh,flashlow,flashstd,flashvhigh,hlshd,hls 
high,hlslow,hlsstd,hlsvhigh"

What's the EXACT command line instruction you're giving? Also is a TV 
mode set in your preferences?

Regards

Alan
