I've got my cable coax going directly to my TV. I get all of the analog station and only a few digital, but I do get my locals in digital/HD.
You stop counting whiskers after a while.

1) Yes, commercials are frequently in SD and the picture changes as needed.
2) I'm not sure about a worse picture with analog-they tend to be rather bad to start with.
3) Digital is more of an all or nothing deal, but sometimes instead of ghosts or snow, it has break-ups (blocking) and its own sets of artifacts.
4) Uhg
5) "
6) that will stop in time.
7) Yes.

I found, that at times you can also pick up some random VOD channels when you don't have a STB hooked up.
enjoy,
Jack

I don't know if the cable companies or satellite companies can give you more high def content. The issue is lack of bandwith. I believe satellite claims to offer 100 hi def channels which is actually bullsh*t if you define high def as a 1920 x 1080 picture. Satellite is actually providing hi def lite which is either 1440x1080 or 1280 x 1080.

It should also be noted that downloadable hi def content is years a way since nothing, not cable nor satellite, has the bandwidth.
