One thing which eases my conscience, somewhat, on the last point, is that the repeats etc are shown on BBC3, which I don't get, as an analogue user.

So, I did download the 'Dalek' episode, to watch again, but I won't be selling copies down the pub

Yes, I know that's you meant - it's still illegal even if you don't share it though - just making or possessing the copy is enough to break the law ....
