Un-sign yourself to the beta labs. delete the current iplayer desktop client, and redownload and install again for a different client which downloads in wmv format.

There's no such directory as mentioned in the tutorial. All the vids are now under C:\Users\username\Videos\BBC iPlayer with mp4 extension, altho configures as an adobe air file.

Pretty much everything shown on UK Terrestrial and Satellite TV is captured and uploaded. I can't see there being any serious copyright issues as most broadcasters offer their own 'catch up' services anyway. It would also be pretty weird to get sued for downloading/watching something that is probably going to be repeated on BB4, More4, etc later the same week. Seriously Barry, join http://www.thebox.bz.

But that's not the point of a catch-up TV service. The idea is that you can watch shows you forgot to record in the first place.
