It seems that get_iplayer 2.97 will no longer record live TV as it used to - thank you BBC! I wanted to record the Festival of Remembrance on BBC One this evening to my PC as our freesat is fully occupied.

However, this BBC One HD Live webstream lurking in the shadows can be captured free of iplayer restrictions using ffmpeg!
