                        Was it a bad idea to include BBC HD on iPlayer
too?

                Are there any programmes on BBC HD that are not also
broadcast (or even simulcast) on other channels?


        Quite a lot of the content on BBC HD is not simulcast and has
worked it's way of the normal iPlayer (for example Torchwood is still on
HD).   
         

Given the repeat cycle of BBC HD, if their stuff was on there, there
would be more than a few programmes which would never leave iPlayer,
which could raise some interesting questions. (would doing that be in
the "spirit" of the BBC Trust rulings on iPlayer's catch-up TV service,
for example)
 
Sure someone has had a few meetings about things like that :)
