MotoGP Subscribers?

I'm sure I've seen questions here about the official MotoGP website subscription services before, but mine's fairly specific about the video quality.

Basically I don't have Sky and I'm not paying for Top Up TV. But I am still keen to watch the MotoGP races this year. Even if all the races are on BBC, I'd ideally like to watch a repeat when I want to, because I probably can't watch every race live (MotoGP round one and DD Cadwell clash - who planned that!). It looks like the best option for me is to subscribe to the Premium MotoGP package for EUR32. Sounds like decent value.......

However, I don't want to be watching some online streaming video the size of a postage stamp (translates as 320x240) at 300kbps. I've searched the MotoGP website for further information on this and it would seem that they are using Windows Media 9 player. What I want to know is the resolution and bitrate of the videos. Are we talking 720x576 and 2Mbps (nice high quality)? I'd even be OK if the Live races were at a lower resolution, but the subsequent VOD service was at a higher quality.

Anyone know?
