All Ripper Street have been 1280x720 from iPlayer File size is not an indication of pixel dimensions, it is the bit-rate which determines file size Agreed. All HD content available on the main iPlayer service is 1280x720p25. HOWEVER, the HD programme material available if you have a Sky+HD box ... is 1920x1080i25 (I think, you get combing artifacts when you hit pause but this might also be because the Sky+HD boxes max out at 1080i on HDMI). So, either BBC provides a feed exclusively to Sky's on-demand platform just for us lucky Sky customers, or there is another unadvertised version feed only available for specific devices or proxied through specific gateways. When I realised I Wiresharked some traffic as I downloaded a file, it was coming from a CDN. More investigation required. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer

Other broadcasters contributing to Free/You/View/Sat may differ.
