Sometimes they do miss stuff off. Channel 4 have proven particularly good at that.

So have the BBC, surprisingly. I say surprisingly because from what I have been told, the Iplayer system is mostly automated (they have a huge system where they feed one copy of the programme in and it prepares the programme for distribution on all the various versions of Iplayer with no human interaction).
