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:

At 360 vertical lines, that's barely more resolution than the old
quarter-screen BBC Parliament service on Freeview - it's not even SD
quality. The video quality is better than the streaming iPlayer service
(I don't have a Windows PC handy to try the iPlayer download service,
which is higher quality), but calling it "HD" is a bit of a cheek.
