By the sounds of things you won't be able to bung up your HD yet as it's 
flash video (think Youtube) which is streamed.  Not something you can 
download and keep for a week.

I really do hope that the BBC see sense about all this and make a proper 
Linux version of the iPlayer, or even a java client!

I'd be interested in downloading stuff from their archive to watch.  I 
won't hold my breath though.
