GiP can't download programmes if they have 'forbidden' characters - and

To strip out these characters, and therefore allow download, add the
switch --fatfilename to the command line.

You can also add "fatfilename 1" (without quotes) to the options file,
to make it happen automatically when running PVR searches. I'm not sure
about Web PVR, as I don't use it.

You can download programmes with such 'forbidden' characters - they're stripped by default. The place you have to be careful is when you use --whitespace to allow whitespace in your output file names. On Windows, --fatfilename is also required if you use --whitespace. If you use the Git HEAD version of get_iplayer, that is now done for you automatically.
