Your previous remark gave me the impression you were desperate for it!
The stream is buffered at full network speed, so once the buffer ceases to grow you can save it off and then play it with proper transport control instead of the crippled iPlayer/TV Portal +/-5min skip. Ditto the HiDef version. It makes watching something you didn't know was on until too late almost as good as recording it in time, as good as a BBC-only version of YouView.
Not desperate just curious, you never know when little gems like that can come in handy. Is there any way other than watching your router usage monitor to tell when the full content has actually arrived. If you want to reply in the correct thread that's fine.
