"No different to" is a colloquialism that seems to be common among those who speak the Queen's English, whereas in the U.S. it is colloquialized as "no different than." The proper construction is, of course, "no different from." Interesting how some grammatical constructions just don't fly no matter where they're used, or by whom.
