BBE stands for Base Boost Enhancer. It is a fancy name given to an electrical circuit that will identify the base frequencies being transmitted and amplify them so it appears your TV has more base.
NICAM stands for Near Instantaneous Compounded Audio Multiplexing ( stay with me ) and basically is identical to the stereo sound you get out of your HIFI. Terrestrial TV cannot transmit in stereo so the boffins produced a system of encoding stereo audio transmissions and sending them over the air (using a NICAM encoder ) The TV or video receiving this transmission ( IE the TV or VCR picking up the signal from your aerial ) needs a NICAM decoder to decode the encrypted transmission.
Sounds fancy but basically NICAM means your tv is stereo.
So in answer to your question No BBE is not better than NICAM because BBE affects the amount of base you hear and NICAM just means that you can watch east enders in stereo.
