Re: NTL Digital Video Compression
NTL do not re-encode, they just broadcast so the same signal is recieved on your NTL, SKY and Freeview box. The hardware in the box may slightly impact the decoding quality, but it is principally bandwidth. Football is one of those things that DTV was not going to improve, too much differing motion and without high bandwidth, which it does not get you get the problems you detail.
You should find that BBC1/2 give very good pictures, as the BBC use more bandwidth on these channels, but bandwidth costs and as a result channels such as E4 use less.

HDTV will use MP4 compression so should get more image down the same pipe.
