In Reply to: Digital Cable posted by sam82264 on April 07, 2002 at 21:23:19:
Digital cable is really an attempt by the cable companies to compete against the satellite services with their multitude of channels. The problem is that the signal suffers from many of the same compression/artifact problems due to too many channels and not enough bits. Unless your analog cable is very poor quality, or you simply must have a kazillion channels, I would avoid it.Todd
Follow Ups:
I agree. This is a quantity issue not a quality one. Digital cable looks like mid grade MPEG video, high artifact count. The compressed signal also screws up TiVo which re-and uncompresses the signal again. So if a TiVo is on your "might buy" list (and it should be), be warned that they probably won't work together. Over all, unless your analog cable is poor, avoid digital cable.-Tim
