You can also do it with the TiVo and the V6 if one of the tuners is set to the channel with the programme that you want to watch.

Does anyone know how the 360 does this? Is it similar to how you can sometimes do it with the V6, or does it obtain the first part from the iPlayer?
You can do this with most other players but it is platform dependent. If the lack of apps on the V6 has pushed a customer to the Roku, they will have similar functions. Freely TV users will also have this function for main PSB channels (not +1s) and for the main 4 UKTV channels. Basically, it just involves having an IP stream running alongside the main services with the ability to switch to the IP stream. As we found with the FAST channels, the V6 can't currently switch to IP streams without going through a red button portal.
