>Well, there aren't OTHERS! All the flavours of the hls tvmodes (hldhd,

Also the hls tvmodes are only listed as hlshd1, hlsvhigh1, hlshigh1, 
hlsstd1, hlslow1

The first Segment not found error reported here was
Forces of Nature with Brian Cox episode 3 The Moth and the Flame (b07l1zvw)
It was broadcast on Monday 18 July 2016 at 2100.  I downloaded the HLSHD 
mode about an hour after broadcast having seen a report here.  There was 
some suggestion that the FlashHD mode was also being truncated at the point 
of the Segment not found error, but I can't comment on that.  I successfully 
downloaded the FlashHD mode on the Thursday, and at that time there was 
still a Segment not found error in the HLSHD mode.  The error had been 
corrected by the following Monday, a week after broadcast.

I am not sure what Jim means by not a loading problem.  The repeatability of 
the errors and the fact that they get corrected some time afterwards suggest 
that the problem is at the BBC's end.  Whatever the problem is, it is 
getting worse.
