Where's The Any Key?

The Product differs too much from the Marketing

All of the cable companies market Digital Cable as having "better picture quality" than regular cable, and being equal to or better than satellite. It simply isn't true.

While the Digital tier does not have the static etc that you see with regular cable, half of the channels are still analog, meaning you only get a partial improvement...if you call artifacts due to over compression such as pixelization, gradient "banding", motion studder etc an improvement.

That is a very good point about the analog channels. I had analog and the picture quality sucked. So I switched over to digital cable hoping that would fix my problems but I found out that those same channels were still analog. So I switched over to Direct TV. Plus they have much better programming packages than cable
