After having Sky for years and now NLT and Freeview for the last year, I am pretty used to Digital TV and I can honestly say that with NTL, the picture and sound quality, on a lot of the channels, has decreased in the last month or 2. I dont know who encodes their channels but there really is something going on.

QVC is a prime example the picture is terrible. Funny how this seems to have started roundabout when the recent new channels were added.

Also, every now and then the screen goes black as the signal goes out of synch and it needs to catch up or whatever it does.

I still have Sky for the free to air channels and I end up watching them, or even Freeview, as the picture and sound is far better.

What is going on?
