If anyone knows how I might be able to generate such a log, please let
me know. I'm running Windows 7 64bit - while I would consider myself
an advanced windows user, I have absolutely no programming knowledge
and little experience with Linux. I can run Ubuntu on vmware if that
helps... My router is pretty basic and only shows information about
connections in its logfile so I don't think that would be much use.

Would some kind of packet sniffer be the right tool for the job? Again
- I know OF this type of tool but have never used one so a bit of
guidance may be necessary. Or perhaps it's not worth pursuing if
get_iplayer is unlikely to be able to grab these streams.

Pass... As there are now several TV manufacturers who make models that
can access iPlayer directly, it would be good to know if they all get
the same feed.
