How come you cannot get Dish?
Quality is not perfect, but uncomparably better than on digital cable.

Tall trees... oaks, actually... the poor cable quality in my case is blamed on the Motorola converter box, they say it is a known problem and the company is working on it... don't know which company, but that makes me feel good... I also have the Toshiba HDTV receiver I have not tried on the cable yet, I know it gave fantastic HDTV pic off the air (except I can't get it either), so perhaps it will work great on cable too.
Unfortunately cable has bandwidth limitations for serious transmission. Pretty much like using slow output transistors in amplifier. My neighbor had HDTV through digital cable and after seeing my Wega he switched to Dish.
It's a pity you cannot. Are you sure? You have property large enough to play with the location of the dishes.
It would be if there was anything to see in HDTV... as it is now, watching it is torture... although I was told WHYY has good demos - so I could impress the guests. Need to find out when they have them.But dish is completely out, so I'll simply wait for the Russian channel on the cable, and then I am all set for the next few years.
I am not jumping into HDTV myself - too early, nothing to watch and I value harddrive videorecording too much to loose it.
Russian channels are a must for me though. Especially NTVA - directly from Moscow and NTV Plus - the movie channel.
