Digital Cable Vs satelite

From what I read,cable companys vary greatly. Their pq, their hd content;whether or not they have locals in hd. Most say Directv has better pq;compared to Dish.---
So, you need some input from users your area.--- You know;walk up and down the streets and ask your neighbors--jus kidin--
Then you have to figure what your monthly will be after the come-on deals end.---- Cable is usually higher. Direct and Dish usually want a 1 year deal commitment.With cable--nothing to buy Tough choices.

Ttrph;you should have a coax or toslinc-out, that goes to your receiver. Then you may have to go into the menu and select/activate. Just keep in mind chs 01 -to 99 are all analog;all the time. For that to go to the receiver,you need a set of analog ics to another input on the receiver. If you get local HD, that is digital all the time.
Re. Voom---No it ain't all HD all the time. They carry many SD chsnnels--But 40 HD stations ain't bad huh?
