One thing people forget, resolution is only as good as the signal.
Lots of times the cable signal suffers over distance, and also the
cabling in your home, connections, etc.


Only if it's an analog signal.

If it's digital, you either get it perfect or you don't get it at all.

My cable company sends "digital" signals through its wires, and what you
get on your TV set depends upon the box you have to decode them. I think I
saw a commercial that stated that when the switchover comes, it won't
matter what sort of TV set you have, because the cable company's equipment
will decode it into whatever your receiver needs. Or something like that!

I have a couple of new LCD televisions that I bought for the boats. When
connected to cable, they get both the analog and HD digital signals for
stations broadcasting both.
I was surprised that they also received the music channels provided by the
cable company.

It's going to be an entertainment paradise for those that watch a lot of
television.
