Hi Ross, You can redirect the 'stderr' output (which is all the verbose stuff) and leave the 'stdout' output, which for get_iplayer is just a list of the programs that have been downloaded and their description. I do this as the command in my cron job;
/usr/local/bin/get_iplayer --pvr 2>>/tmp/get_iplayer.log the 2>> redirects stderr to an appended log file, this means that if I have issues I can check this file to see what the full output actually was. You may want to read the manual here http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/io-redirection.html for more info on redirection. Hope that helps.
