One easy way to find out is to play it live - or play a recording in VLC - which will play it at its native resolution for any 
particular recording.  Its file information will give detailed and perhaps helpful codec information for both video and audio.

I am not sure if mplayer does this so easily.

I do not know however the different programs might be at different resolutions, although the bandwidth may not be there to support 
more than 576i.

My observations of DVB-T Prime ("HD" is likely misleading in the title - but then I am not sure you will find an official source 
that expresses it that way?) is its quality is superior to SD Prime analogue, however analogue Prime was always inferior to TV3 
(which was for me always the best analogue quality).
