Fraid not, they both use the exact same bitrate MPEG stream, ntl dont recompress the signal at any point or introduce any loss of picture quality.

Both having the same bitrate doesn't mean that they will both have the same picture quality. I got rid of NTL DTV because I could never get an acceptable pictue for more than a few days at a time. I was getting a lot of dithering and freezing on NTL, particularly in hot weather. Several engineer visits and box changes didn't cure the problems. Sky DTV which I had at the same time was always rock steady even during rain, snow and very windy conditions. Only ever lost the signal once in five years with Sky and that was a really heavy snow build up on the dish which waas quickly removed and normal service resumed. Bitrate is only one of the factors in picture quality.
