It's downloading the iPod/iPhone versions which is why it is DRM-free as those devices can't play the regular protected files. The versions played on your computer will be different (as you've found) and you can get much better quality.

I'm guessing the reason part of News 24 appeared is that they have an automated system converting programmes to mp4, which probably goes by timings, so may well pick up a little extra.
