The iPlayer is great, but in terms of HD, Vimeo now seems to be the place to look at. Their HD channel is amazing, but unfortunately relegates the BBC's iPlayer into looking like yesterday's technology...
Their HD channel is here: http://vimeo.com/channel778e An example: http://vimeo.com/775442 If they can do it, it would be superb if the BBC could too - although Vimeo probably don't need to convince the BBC Trust of anything before executing a good idea...
