My TV doesn't have a digital tuner and I get much better picture quality with digital signals, especially on the local OTA high def stations, so I'm stuck with the set-top box until such time as I replace the TV.

Cable isn't an issue for me. I don't have it and, frankly, I don't find my local cable network's offerings enticing.

Its HD has a better picture than the same channels via cable. Idon't watch much cable, only a couple channels.

  Don't know about in the US but OTA here in Australia is very nice.
  
  I'm impressed by the improvement I see swapping from the standard def channel to the high def channel for the same broadcast, even on my screen which is 32" and 1366 x 768 resolution.
  
  I only have a standard def disc player at the moment but I'm seriously contemplating a BD player when some version 1.1 players that handle both Dolby and DTS new formats become available here. I think the picture quality I get from a standard def DVD with good image quality is much better than OTA standard def and close to some OTA high def material so I anticipate a high def player doing better than high def OTA quality and that certainly is nothing to sneeze at.
