StarChoice HD Movie Resolution and Bitrate

Can anyone tell me with certainty if SC runs Movie Central and Movie Network HD in 720p or 1080i(or a bastardized version of 1080i like D*).

Also, any idea of the bitrate of the video?

I know BEV is running them at 720p with a bitrate of around 11.3Mbps on the video though it seems most cable systems in Canada are running them at 1080i at around the same bitrate (or slightly higher) than BEV.

as far as I know, Starchoice runs in native 1080i (1920x1080i)

Not doubting, but I'd really like confirmation and bitrate if anyone has a R5000HD unit that knows particulars.
