--pid and --pid-recursive now only works once with PVR

I'm seeing similar behaviour with my hand-cranked ONCE files for series
PIDs and I suspect it is because the screen scraper is looking at the
'available now' page rather than 'all episodes' page.

If you plug the 3 series PIDs for Believe It! into the ONCE file below
it should download a couple of programmes (S3 Ep3/3 and S2 Ep1/4) but
all 3 ONCE files should not be deleted (and previously were not)
because in all cases it has not downloaded a complete series.

s1 pid b01hj89q (4 eps)
s2 pid b03m36xt (4 eps)
s3 pid b08mshx1 (3 eps)
