Yes excellent news, lets hope the ISP's lay off on the bandwidth capping so we
can all download this stuff without worry.
I'm hoping its both streaming and download, but I honestly don't know.

Subject: [backstage] HD iPlayer at last!
The BBC iPlayer <http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/> is set to go HD "in
the next month."
BBC Vision Director Jana Bennett let the news slip during a panel
discussion at the FT Digital Media and Broadcasting Conference. Expect a big
announcement with full details of the service in the next few days.
It's difficult to determine exactly what form the HD content will take
at this stage; will it be 720p or 1080p? Will it be download-only, or streaming?
