I only use it for the radio progs. E.g. Welcome to our Village, Please Invade carefully, is a great series. As was Elvenquest, and of course the great Just a Minute or News Quiz's.
Got Iplayer (etc) on the TV/freeview box so if SHMBO misses something she can watch it without me getting it downloaded for her.
I miss the radio progs live and forget to listen for the 7day catchup so I just use get-iplayer to cache them for me to listen as and when I want. E.g. when walking the dog 😉
