    Has anybody has experience of the two?

    How does the bit rate compare on the two?

    To my untrained eye (I don't know the numbers involved), I can't see a difference between the two picture or sound wise. There might be some service differences, like subtitles and available audio channels though.

    All HD channels on UPC carry a Dolby Digital track.

    The bit rate is good but Blu Ray is better.
    Also many Blu Ray discs have True Dolby or even DTS HD.

    I saw the 2 more or less side by side in a demo in the RDS
    Sky's HD looked more HD than UPC's HD
    may have to do with telly setup
    but sky's image was sharper and with more detail
