Yes, I reported a week or so ago that low-res modes were no longer available
as HLS for the majority of programmes. Fortunately, they are still available
with the "hvfx" modes. I download everything with "hvfxhigh", which produces
a file similar in size to that of the "hlsstd" mode which has now mostly
disappeared.

Subject: Legacy Low-Res tvmodes removed
"--info"-ing yesterday's --pid=b08qlg9p
perl get_iplayer-301.pl --type=tv --pid=b08qlg9p -i | findstr hls
one can see that only
hlshd1,hlshd2,hlsvhigh1,hlsvhigh2
are now offered from the group of the legacy
(non Video Factory, aka hvf*) AppleHLS tvmodes.
Actually, both "1" variants are identical to their "2"
counterparts and served from Akamai CDN,
they only differ in the protocol used
(1=HTTPS, 2= HTTP).
So that leaves us with only 2 quality variants
from the legacy AppleHLS streams:
hlshd => 1280x720p @25FPS
hlsvhigh => 832x468p @25FPS
If you're still (or can use) previous versions
of GiP that come with RTMP stream support,
you'll find the same to be true for the (legacy) flash tvmodes.
To re-enable detection of flash modes
you'll have to apply the patch I posted in
the second part of
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/get_iplayer/2017-May/010720.html
In GiP 2.99 (last version with flash support),
perl get_iplayer-299.pl --type=tv --pid=b08qlg9p -i
will reveal that now only
flashhd1,flashvhigh1,flashvhigh2
modes are offered.
flashhd => 1280x720p @25FPS
flashvhigh => 832x468p @25FPS
(1= Akamai CDN, 2= Limelight CDN).
If it's anything to go by (obviously I haven't
tested many PIDs), this displays a trend...
