Hi, I've just switched from freeview to NTL cable. Just had 2 questions:

1) How does the bitrate for the main channels compare to that of freeview? I was always hearing complaints about low bitrate channels on freeview, but the picture quality on NTL doesn't seem that different?

2) What's up with BBCi? No video subscreens of news headlines etc. Thought with cable's increased capacity I would get more video streams (like Sky), not less.
