I converted it from X264 MKV file into a MP4 file with a program called GotSent. The output filesize was the same as the original.

And it looked immense on my 50"

I wouldn't.

The actual BBC stream came in at 7.7Gb @ 1080i, and looks gorgeous and doesnt suffer from compression artifacting that the ~1Gb releases suffer from.

So I say watch the broadcast version, or an uncompressed version of it on the pc. :D
