Thanks for the clarification, Proppinupthebar. I suppose then, as an analogy, that NTL/Sky/Freeview digital audio is to Nicam as MP3 or ATRAC is to CD. I can tell the difference between the original audio on CD and MP3 or WMV's when played through my laptop. So then, I guess that NICAM could sound better than NTL. S'funny, I remember being conned about picture quality as well
