Not every programme with a HD download available is assigned category 
'HD' by get_iplayer.  I think the HD category designation is only 
assigned to programmes actually broadcast on the BBC HD channel.  I 
don't know if that can be expanded to assign the HD category to 
programmes from BBC One and BBC Two that are also available in HD.  For 
obvious cases like Upstairs, Downstairs, I would say just put 'flashhd' 
at the head of your recording modes list and it will pick up the HD 
download if it's available, and fall back to flashvhigh, etc., if it's 
not.  Otherwise, you'll have to drop out to the command line and use 
--info to verify if an HD download is available.
