Thanks! That's good information. I didn't know that digital cable was only digital on the premium channels. Makes sense though since I didn't notice ANY improvement what so ever on the regular channels and had to deal with the inconvenience of the slow digital cable set-top-box to boot. I'll be looking into Dish and DirecTV.
Follow Ups:
I had regular cable before Dish. Dish is by far better picture. Also with satellite you can get DD 5.1 sound, which previously was not offered even on digital cable. Not sure if digital cable has caught up yet. I like the Channel surfing menu too. It's fast on Dish, never seen a digital cable though. My Dish unit boots up fast, but is slow shutting down.TIVO is supposed to be more powerful than Dish's version, but that's mostly for searching types of programs to record. I don't care about that when mine's free every month!
