They're 720p WMV files at 5mbps. Available to UK and Windows users only. They seem to lack some of the clarity that BBC HD has, but... Well, you can't complain.

I can

Great download bandwidth - 480KB/s

Unfortunately got 'Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file'.

VLC just played them as a garbled mess. Interestingly Real Player (don't ask...) appears to use WMP a plugin to play this. Comes up with the same WMP error anyway.

Have to look at this later.
