    Is there any difference between the broadcast quality from NTL cable versus a digital satellite signal, e.g. Freesat?

    I'm toying with the idea of getting the Humax Foxsat, but don't know if there would be much difference in quality.

    anyone having already made the move would be able to give a better opinion.

    thanks.

    I have both on the same TV just now, and the picture of the Sat is way better than the NTL picture, but when i complete the switch over to FreeSat from UPC, i will lose a stations, the UK-TV lot, Living/Hallmark/Sky etc, but gain ITV2/3/4 among others.

    Cool,

    I just got an LCD HD tv and the picture quality is crap on football etc. My freesat is on order and should be with me by the end of the week.

    I switched from NTL digital to Freesat earlier this year. No regrets - Humax Freesat picture better than my NTL digital picture - on 37" LCD Panny. RTE etc from analogue worse of course - just need DTT rollout to compliment Freesat.
