StarzHD and NFLHD are of "real" h.264 type. No video feeds on 129 for these yet, just channel description.
National Geographic and HGTV HD are of "fake" h.264 type (meaning mpeg2 video but only available to ViP receivers). Both of these have video streams uplinked on 129. Video is encrypted, so can't check resolution information. Video bitrate is averaging around 11Mbit.

The reason is that it has less subs so if something goes wrong they minimize the impact.
