There must have been high demand for it later on BBC iPlayer as it did not offer HD or subtitles.
Yes - if the program you set to record has the "live" (or whatever) flag, then you get prompted to add extra time. Great stuff. If you are recording subsequent programs, whose start time may well get delayed, there's no such flag. I guess this falls under the dynamic-EPG argument, but has long been a frustration of mine too.

As for iPlayer in HD, I've noticed that programs will sometimes become available in SD within a few hours, but HD can take a bit longer. It's only when I've been trying to watch BBC Scottish news mid-evening that this has been noticeable.
