Mpeg2 is just as good and you will not be able to tell the difference, sky have greater bandwidth restrictions than ntl/telewest so need better compression.
@neil - Whilst the basic specs of sky plus sound good it's not the best thing on the planet, for a start is an amstrad box underneath and the lastest software release is murdering our box, takes a second to respond to any button press.
The ntl box will be better spec though not having trialled it I cannot comment on how well it will work.

From what a friend of mine tells me on the TW network, the box is great, he sees no reason to go to Sky, and as you say, the bandwidth on the ntl/Telewest network negates the need for better compression standard.
