>Hi Lewis (and Steve) >Yes Steve, you're right, I missed the Command Line instruction! >You can set modes from the Command Line for example: >get_iplayer --modes=best --pid=p02tw8xk >This will download the "best" version available for the programme, HD if available, otherwise SD. >or >get_iplayer --modes=flashhd --pid=p02tw8xk
>This will download the HD version of the programme, if available.

When I went to the 'iplayer folder' there was no file called options so I deleted the lot, uninstalled the entire program, reinstalled and now it works! I used the command you provided- ('get_iplayer --modes=best --pid=********') so would recommend this to anyone who is having similar issues!
