Are you counting HVF as HLS streams?  If I take b0b071wx as a recent 
example, for version original I can only see DVF and HVF modes and 
subtitles.

If we are stuck with DVF and HVF we are also stuck with the BBC's absurd 
notion that increasing the frame rate [by duplicating frames?] to 50fps 
more than compensates for reducing the resolution to keep the bandwidth 
the same.

Best wishes
