For iPlayer content there is a much better tool get_iplayer which is a perl script based application so is equally usable on Windows, OS X, Linux, BSD etc. You can download programmes in a variety of quality settings from HD (usually available) through high quality flash to regular low quality streaming flash and the video is automatically transcoded to h264+aac....and no DRM of course. It also has full PVR functionality in conjunction with cron/your OS's scheduler, and all kinds of useful options (can obtain subtitles, thumbnails etc). I've found that the flashvhigh1 and flashvhigh2 settings are ideal for obtaining something that can be transcoded for MPlayer on the N810, giving a very good picture with no artefacts and decently small file size. I've found that the combination of tablet-encode and Mplayer or KMplayer is much more satsfactory than the default player and Nokia's own converter.
