BBC HD content appears on VM iPlayer

As mentioned in a few comments to earlier posts, a new folder, HD Catch Up has appeared in the on demand catch up TV listings (option 5). Content appears to have been added over the evening - all so far has been from BBC HD.
Also, someone has posted that there are now subtitles available on BBC HD - haven't checked this myself.

Subtitles are available. This is odd as I'm sure some VM employee said at some point they couldn't get subtitles at all unless they got a transcode of the satellite feed.

The HD stuff plays fine. A bit variable in quality. Better than normal vod though so this is good stuff. It's unclear what will be added.

At least the BBC programmes will help to prevent the hard drive of my V+ from being filled up with only a very few HD shows.
Other than that, it's hardly new content or anything to get excited about, especially as BBC HD's schedule is already filled with repeat after repeat.

What is going on with the subtitles on HD. First they work and then nothing? Please bring back the subs...
