+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBget_iplayer\fR lists, searches and records BBC iPlayer TV/Radio, BBC Podcast programmes. Other 3rd\-Party plugins may be available.
+.PP
+\fBget_iplayer\fR has three modes: recording a complete programme for later playback, streaming a programme
+directly to a playback application, such as mplayer; and as a Personal Video Recorder (PVR), subscribing to
+search terms and recording programmes automatically. It can also stream or record live BBC iPlayer output
+.PP
+If given no arguments, \fBget_iplayer\fR updates and displays the list of currently available programmes.
+Each available programme has a numerical identifier, \fBpid\fR.
+\fBget_iplayer\fR records BBC iPlayer programmes by pretending to be an iPhone, which means that some programmes in the list are unavailable for recording.
+It can also utilise the \fBflvstreamer\fR tool to record programmes from RTMP flash streams at various qualities.
+.PP
+In PVR mode, \fBget_iplayer\fR can be called from cron to record programmes to a schedule.
