The transformation in my case is that iPlayer has ruined the Olympics for me. 
We used to get a daily highlights show on an HD channel between 30 mins and an 
hour long, that I recorded on my PVR and watched later. Now I have to find 
stuff myself from a set of 2 minute highlight clips, which show so little of 
each event as to rob them of any drama and tension. Furthermore the picture 
quality is significantly worse than Freeview HD, there's pixelisation all over 
the place in fast moving parts. Yes the full events are there but I have to go 
hunting for them, and I've given up several times because it takes a while to 
trawl through finding stuff.
