    I learned recently that yt-dlp works with the iPlayer, though it’s capped at 720p for some reason. However, get_iplayer can download 1080p as long as you add --tv-quality=fhd to the command.

      Thx for this tip! It’s really saving me on a specific show that I wasn’t able to find on any tracker.

        r/TV_NCA on reddit has such things… Though, that one is a members-only subreddit, so you will need a reddit account to get approved by a mod of the sub. I read somewhere that they’ll accept most membership requests - but only if the account has some karma…

        The private torrent tracker TVCUK has it too.

        I also saw a filehost link posted on a private Discord server - which is a different annoying obstacle in itself, and I’m not sure if I should share more details about that server in a public comment like this, though it is really great for UK, AU, NZ stuff. Though, if you can join r/TV_NCA a lot of the same stuff is available there too.

        Other related public subreddits now we’re at it:

        • r/TellyBum2 for UK stuff (but low activity)
        • r/DownUnderTV and r/RooTV for AU/NZ stuff
        • r/panelshow for various panelshows of the world but mainly UK ones
        • r/notpanelshow for content featuring UK panelshow regulars but isn’t a panelshow
