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:

An example:

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...
