No to both questions.  Unless and until HLS is fixed, FlashHD is the only 
way to get 1280x720 25fps unless you re-encode HVFHD to 25fps.  The BBC says 
the advantage of 50fps is more fluid motion.  I am not competent to say how 
fast motion needs to be to benefit from 50fps, but the more fluid motion 
also applies to panning.  For slow moving images with lots of fine detail, 
such as a programme on BBC4 about paintings or architecture, a lower frame 
rate and higher resolution is better.
