Olympic torch relay footage

[Dennis Smith]

I now have a HD URL
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p00syxbw/hd/Torch_Relay_London_2012_Torch_Relay_Day_54_Morning_Session/
And can't seem to get a particularly HD looking video. What do I need
to do to make the video download as HD if it's available as HD.

I've done that for a long time and the only problems stemmed from Apple's fiddling with Xcode. get_iplayer itself will soon join the Homebrew universe, FWIW.
