My understanding is that the settings in ~/.get_iplayer override any settings in /etc/get_iplayer. You could think of get_iplayer working like this: apply default settings override with anything set in /etc/get_iplayer (or wherever the equivalent options file is on other architectures) override with anything set in ~/get_iplayer override with anything set in the pvr configuration override with anything set on the command line and whatever you're left with is what happens. (or at least, that's my understanding and expectation of how it behaves, without actually checking the code.) If you prefer thinking in terms of what has priority, simply work through the list the other way round (the last item in my list has highest priority). However, note that the (many and various) modes options also have a degree of priority - so having set modes, tvmode and radiomode (and <plugin>mode for plugins), you'll find that the more specific mode, e.g. "tvmode" for iplayer tv content, overrides "modes". And if tvmode is set, then modes is ignored for tv programmes.
