This is a small command line utility that lets you download TV programmes and radio shows from BBC iPlayer, which are then converted to DRM-free formats.

You can download it here: -

The basic functionality is easy to get to grips with, but as it's a command line utility that also has some fairly advanced features, you'll need to check out the Wiki here: -

There are some different frontends for this, although I've not tried any of them. If anyone can recommend one, please post a reply.

Oh yeah - this does not let you bypass the geofencing restrictions that are in place with iPlayer, so if you don't have a UK-based IP address, or you're not using a VPN that lets you appear to be in the UK, it will not work.
