THE BBC HAS BLOWN UP TV LISTING FEEDS (WITH WORKAROUND)

[artisticforge .]

hello

this appears to have broken fetching tv programmes.
setup:
Mac Mini running Snow Leopard and get_iplayer-2.92

I issue my standard shell script command to update all and then fetch
the available programme found in pvr.

<begin quote>
#!/bin/bash

date;
./get_iplayer --refresh-feeds-tv=schedule --type=all --refresh --nopurge
date;
./get_iplayer --pvr
date;

exit;
<end    quote>

get_iplayer-2.92 dies at line 7099
