Just watching Fiver via Freeview on DVBViewer and the bitrate is only 1.8-2.7 and the res only 544 x 576, so it appears not all the channels on Freeview do have full 720 x 576 res and a higher bitrate after all.


The exceptions seem to be ITV1 and C4 that transmit at 704 x 576 compare to 544 x 576 on sat, not sure there's much difference in the bitrate.

) are 720 as well. BBC1 in particular has a pretty high bitrate, generating about 2 Gigs/hour, which you can really see on some films. Most other 720s tend to weigh in around 1 ish per hour.
