Actually, the difference between MPEG 2 and MPEG 4 is greater compression on MPEG 4. IIRC, this is a more significant problem for Sky, as bandwidth is more limited on Satellite than it is on Cable.

See
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/techn.../h264/faq.html
"HD MPEG-2 content at 1920x1080 traditionally runs at 12-20 Mbps, while H.264 can deliver 1920x1080 content at 7-8 Mbps at the same or
better quality. H.264 provides DVD quality at about half the data rate of MPEG-2."
Bandwidth difference is significant buy how are they getting better quality?
