Ripper Street for example.

File sizes are about 1.15 GB per hour.


All Ripper Street have been 1280x720 from iPlayer

File size is not an indication of pixel dimensions, it is the bit-rate
which determines file size

Agreed. All HD content available on the main iPlayer service is 1280x720p25.

HOWEVER, the HD programme material available if you have a Sky+HD box 
... is 1920x1080i25 (I think, you get combing artifacts when you hit 
pause but this might also be because the Sky+HD boxes max out at 1080i 
on HDMI).


So, either BBC provides a feed exclusively to Sky's on-demand platform 
just for us lucky Sky customers, or there is another unadvertised 
version feed only available for specific devices or proxied through 
specific gateways. When I realised I Wiresharked some traffic as I 
downloaded a file, it was coming from a CDN. More investigation required.

It's usually because you've got rich formatting (or whatever your mail
programme calls it) turned on:  change to plain text, and don't attach
anything, and the message should get through.
