whats it like on 1080p or 720,cable will never equal sat quality,using a good hdmi cable?

Cable HD should Rival Satellite HD as both are equal in terms of output the deciding factor in this is the quality of componnts used inside the receiver to display the HD picture as not all HD receivers are created equal

HD Cable is a lower bandwidth than the Satellite equivalents, I believe that they also use the less efficient MPEG2 as well, so the quality isn't as good but most people would struggle to see the difference with equal hardware.
