Hmm!
I use get_iplayer to download progs and the blurb on the site says:

The iPhone H.264 feeds from the BBC are higher quality than in the Flash 
iPlayer (normal quality). See the beebhack wiki for a comparison. They 
are intended for the Apple iPhone and are consequently difficult to 
download for any other OS. The same goes for the iPhone MP3 radio 
streams. get_iplayer also allows recording of the high-quality (even HD 
720p) flash based content using rtmpdump. None of the above content is 
‘protected’ by DRM. get_iplayer cannot remove DRM.
