I'm not into Sport, with the exception of Tennis, but my experience of
Wimbledon has taught me to look up the relevant BBC programme pages, so
it will be worth looking at the following pages regularly:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00cmh07/episodes/player
Also I suspect the following will produce helpful information in days to
come of what's available for download:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/programmes/formats/performancesandevents
BTW I agree about the Red Button situation if only for the amount of
action going on, there are limits on what can be edited for broadcast.
If they struggle to do it fully for Wimbledon then the Olympics presents
a massive challenge to the BBC iPlayer team.
Hope that helps

Dinky has pointed out on the forum that Olympics coverage might only
be available using hvf streams.
He has created a topic about this here:

Thanks for the link.
As for downloading from the iPlayer, my experience has been that only
the main channels are put on iPlayer, and that red button streams are
only available while the live event is being shown on a red button
channel. That experience is limited because my main interest is
equestrian events. There are usually only two a year shown, Badminton
and Burghley. BBC2 shows 2 hours of highlights on the Sunday
afternoon and that is subsequently available on iPlayer. There is
also 6 hours of red button coverage of the cross-county on the
Saturday afternoon, but the pid for that becomes unavailable when the
coverage ends. I am assuming something similar will apply for the
Olympics, and the only opportunity to record the red button coverage
will be while it is being transmitted.
