below is a hack that uses last week's schedules (and stuff before today in this week's schedules) to enable some degree of searching for tv programmes. Dinkypumpkin's proposed updates will almost certainly provide a better solution, but this seems to be making the pvr work again for me. YMMV
for Ubuntu users I'm in the process of rolling this into my ppa at get-iplayer-testing and it should pop out of there in the next couple of hours. To use the -testing ppa follow the instructions at https://github.com/dinkypumpkin/get_iplayer/wiki/ubuntu but substitute "jon-hedgerows/get-iplayer" for "jon-hedgerows/get-iplayer-testing".
