Hmmm ... just tried that on my Ubuntu Lucid amd64 PC and I get:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ get_flash_videos -r high http://www.itv.com/itvplayer/video/?Filter=282530
Downloading http://www.itv.com/itvplayer/video/?Filter=282530
Using method 'itv' for http://www.itv.com/itvplayer/video/?Filter=282530
Error: Unable to find <Video> in XML at /usr/bin/get_flash_videos line 2743.

Couldn't extract Flash movie URL. This site may need specific support 
adding,
or fixing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Curiously '/usr/bin/get_flash_videos --update' confirms I am on the 
latest version. Oh well, nothing much I want to watch on ITV anyway ;-)
