Alas, the clue is in the name "radiobest" I suspect. 

HDTV isn't radio. So I doubt "radiobest" is a mode appropriate for TV
fetching.

FWIW I have suggested to BBC people in the past that some of us would
prefer 25 fps video with 320k audio to 50 fps with 128k audio. Radio people
are inclined to agree with me. But they aren't making the decisions when it
comes the TV side of things.

To get the best audio for TV you may have to use a mode like the one I
reported in an earlier email. That works here to get 128k *provided* the TV
people have generated a suitable file. But means you get larger files
because they are 50fps. That said, they look nice. :-)
