I'm also in Canada (southwestern Ontario). How are you connecting the Star Choice receiver to the TV-a good video cable (RCA) will be a dramatic improvement over a straight co-ax termination and going to a decent (without breaking the bank) s-video cable will give you even more improvement. That being said, I would say that the best analogue cable signal will probably be slightly better than the best digital satellite signal, but for sheer consistency, digital is clearly (no pun intended) the winner.

Hi Blake: I am using Ultralink S video from the Star Choice reciever to the TV (a year old JVC 36" D series). Compared to a TVO off air broadcast (Studio 2), the satellite is clearly second. The advantage I have compared to others is the antenna is only 6 or 7 years old and I live outside of Toronto proper. A lighting bolt hit the house and fryed the old antenna. The new setup (rotor, coax, antenna) surprised me. This got me looking at antennas around the neighbourhood and I have noticed that most are blocked by trees, or have broken downleads or antenna elements. I am surprised that these people can get any stations at all!! Star Choice gets me the other stations such as A&E, History and so forth. However, the antenna gets me 49 (Warner), 23 (NBC?), 13 (Kitchner) and late at night, Channel 3 (Barrie!) 8, 10, 15 etc. I wonder what an even taller tower and a higher quality RG-6 would get me.I think that a good external antenna, put up high enough is hard to beat.
