Live TV pining for the fjords

It looks the BBC have removed the RTMP streams for live TV. At least,
they're no longer where get_iplayer looks for them. If anyone knows
that they are still running, and how to locate them, let me know. Since
the live streams were switched to Adobe HDS a little while back, it's no
surprise that the RTMP streams would be killed eventually.
For the moment I'm occupied with fixing things still broken by the loss
of the programme feeds, but HDS is a can of worms that will have to be
opened eventually. The BBC have already declared they are moving to HDS
for AOD in 2015. If they are going to use the switch to bring in DRM (a
la C4), then it's game over for get_iplayer (except for podcasts). If
anyone sees any news about their DRM plans, please post.
