Except that quite often the tail end of broadcasts includes announcers 
giving information about upcoming programmes. Depends what you want and 
whether you're keeping the recording. For casual stuff I don't care but 
for other stuff I'm likely to watch a few times then it does matter for me.

In addition, broadcast programmes are often upscaled.

That's why prefer I prefer the get_iPlayer version, but YMMV!
