Have they broken something new? (get_iplayer v2.91, last working about 3
days ago, radio still ok, TV does that for every channel)

Yes, the BBC have just changed the way the system works. However the gip
developers sorted out the situation within a day or so. You should now use
gip 2.94. The release notes are the same as for 2.93. (2.94 bugfixes a
problem with 2.93.)

Expect more changes...

I looked and saw 2.92, but no specific comment that "We have un-broken
what the Beeb broke" was noticed ...

Job for tomorrow then, ta! :)

1) Would this be the same PWC who are hand in glove with the major
media companies for a chunk of their income?

2) Who funded this research?

3) Who benefits from this report?

I don't know the answer to your first two questions, but the answer to
this one is easy. Assuming the research and recommendations were part of
a process which led to the abolition of the compulsory BBC licence
(perhaps with the BBC adopting a subscription model, perhaps not), the
the beneficiaries would include everyone who wishes to use a television
set to watch FTA and subscription commercial services but does not wish
to contribute to the BBC (no matter what reason they might have for that
preference).
