It is quite interesting and amazing that quality of signals (or reception) can vary between neighbors, each having Satellite and between others, each having cable.
I am sorry to say that this discrepancy can be greater than we find here on audiogon with our own audio equipment.
I live in a major metropolitan area where OTA (off the air) HD signals have been around for some time and my little Terk $35.00 antenna brings in a better picture than my Dish Network HD feed. this could be my Dish receiver as it also has the ability to pull in OTA signals but my stand-alone HD receiver pulls in better HD signals. This is certainly the case for Monday Night Football and the local PBS station.
I do suggest you pay attention to what is available OTA in addition to whatever you decide for you main provider.
