What steps will reproduce the problem? Be specific, and provide as much detail as possible.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of GiA are you using? On what version of OS X?

Are you using a web proxy? DNS proxy? VPN? VPS?

What program are you attempting to download (full title, series and episode)? Provide only ONE program as an example.

Please provide any additional information below.

Hi Iain

I just tried downloading this BBC programme and had no errors. The file name and quality are "Phantom Thread - ((hlsxsd))" and it was placed in Apple TV 'Movies'.

In this case it looks like you're requesting only 720p or 1080p quality, but only SD and lower is available. For an older program that's not too surprising. I suppose the error message could be better, but in this case it's behaving correctly.
