There was a long thread about this last year on the dev list.  Right at 
the end (30 July 2015) Warpme said:

I have exactly the same HLS distortions on H264 SD channels. HD channels 
are OK.
Reverting commit You mention fixes issue for me.

There are problems with problems gossamer-threads at present and I don't 
use hls.  Does the hls problem still apply only to SD h264?
