+get_iplayer allows you to search, index and record/stream:
+
+ * BBC iPlayer TV - up to 3200 kbps HD 720p H.264 / Quicktime / MP4
+ * BBC Live TV - 500 kbps H.264 / MP4
+ * BBC iPlayer Radio - up to 192 kbps MP3 / AAC and Realaudio
+ * BBC Live Radio - up to 192 kbps MP3 / AAC, WMA and Realaudio
+ * BBC Podcasts - up to 192 kbps MP3 / AAC
+ * BBC iPlayer TV subtitles - SubRip / srt
+
+It emulates an iPhone from the BBC's server's point of view, thus allowing
+the download of DRM-free H.264 feeds.
+
+Requires perl-html-parser and libwww-perl (available at SlackBuilds.org).
+Optionally depends on flvstreamer (also available at SlackBuilds.org). This
+is a recommended optional dependency as not all streams are available in
+H.264 format, and flvstreamer allows get_iplayer to download the Adobe
+Flash files instead.
+
+This build does not include to PVR components (yet).
