I completely agree with the need for the Signed versions of programmes being available on iPlayer, but I wish they would identify them clearly. Broadcasters are responsible for providing this information for EPGs.

I use iPlayer on my Sky STB as it downloads rather than streams. Obviously I pick the HD version of a programme, but increasingly now that is the signed version for some reason.

I wanted to watch a particular episode of Doctor Who. The HD one is signed, as is the first SD version. I had to do three downloads before I found one minus the midget in the corner. None of the 3 options were identified as signed in the programme data.

One of the reasons you end up with signed versions is because they were the most recent broadcast and the standard version has dropped off its allotted time on iPlayer (available for six months, but the signed version was shown six days later late at night).

With something like Doctor Who however where the entire library is permanently available it should be done better, such as a switch against a single episode.

The podcast versions of the 60th were duff for this too. I thought I could turn it on like an audio commentary track but it was a totally different show and quite hidden.
