 there. What you are trying to do there is use a VPID (Video PID) with 
the PID switch which won't work. 1 PID can have a number of different 
VPIDs. Signed, audio described and standard versions will all have their
 own VPID but we don't need to use the VPIDs as GiP works all those out 
for itself.

 that PID with the rest of your command as it is should work. You will 
see it skipping the standard programmes to get to the one that does have
 HD available.
 
Brilliant, works a treat.
 
Sorry, one more question that someone has asked before but not got an answer
 
Is there a way of checking if the HLS downloads have retried midstream, RTMP 
give a retry response, 
then I would start a fresh download as otherwise there will be glitch in the 
file.
 
With HLS, I'm downloading, renaming the downloaded file and then downloading a
2nd time. If the two file sizes are identical then I know the download 
is clean.
