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.

We have two "digital" boxes, three TV sets. The two "digital" boxes are
connected to TVs that handle HD and the music channels, too. One of the
sets is an LCD, the other is a big glass tube SONY. I have yet to see the
equal of the glass tube SONY's picture quality in any of the new flat
screen TVs. Damn thing weighs about 225 pounds, though.

Same here... can it be almost 2 years since I bought my Sony 30" HDTV tube
type?
The TV has been flawless... wish I could say the same thing for the cable
company supplied Motorola DVR cable box. (rental at $15.00 per month)
