Saving M3U8 as video file

I'm trying to convert this URL https://vod-ww.s4c-cdn.co.uk/antarctica ... 92273.m3u8 When I go Open Network Stream>Network and paste this URL and play it under Show Codec Information I can see it's 960x540. But when I save/convert it, it saves as a file that's 480x270. I think I know where this comes from. I have pasted the file that gets downloaded if you put the URL into Chrome and open in Notepad. The first video is 480. I tried to copy and paste "antarctica__antarctica_mewn_perygl_cymr_r6082r_002fc92273_Ott_Hls_Ts_Avc_Aac_16x9_960x540p_2000Kbps.m3u8" into the Convert/Save box but this just keeps asking if I want to overwrite a file or keep the existing copy but I don't have a file to overwrite.
How can I save the 960 version? I tried playing with the format but I cannot see an option to download the higher quality one.

You cannot do that easily.
