I still feel like we aren't communicating clearly.

I don't see transcoding and downloading as something independent of
HLS.  The transcoding and downloading would be simplest done using
HLS.

This won't work when the device is not in a service area and I'm sure
it would blow my 200MB/month bandwidth budget pretty fast.  These
restrictions are what is driving us to ask for this feature.
