A patch to restore live tv functionality was committed after 2.82 was 
released:

http://git.infradead.org/get_iplayer.git/commit/5ca58546998b5bfb3fda77f131cc5703abccc628

Unfortunately, live radio streaming was broken by a later patch:

http://git.infradead.org/get_iplayer.git/commit/c3aafce094e692d20d33c3670e00c8d21a4f6124

I have reverted that commit in Git.  Some of it was broken and the rest 
is unnecessary now that the Olympics are over.  It may be that the media 
selector URLs used for Olympics streams (part of the reverted commit) 
are required for other BBC web broadcasts, but I'll leave it to the 
original author to take up that issue.  In the end, I thought it better 
to restore the code to a known good state, so I reverted the entire commit.

Try the new Git HEAD, which should restore live radio.  Reply here if it 
doesn't work.

BTW, always pull from the main repo:

http://git.infradead.org/get_iplayer.git

The develop branch in my fork usually has the same content, but it's not 
guaranteed.
