Well I thought most of the pixelization was gone...not so, I was watching tonight and still anything overly fast moving has an issue, especialy with anything like strobe lights or fireworks. I have thought about a HDMI cable and whether or not it would make things better over component. What do you think?
Im going to recheck all my connections tomorrow.
Im begining to think its a wiring issue or just a crappy signal.

As posted earlier in the thread... you are experiencing bit shaving/compression
It is a provider problem, not the cables.

Ok, I get that. So am I right in assuming that my other tv's dont have an issue because they are not running through the digi-box?

Those other TV's are HD or SD?

Almost... Since they are SD with no box that means they are using the old NTSC RF system. The beauty of that is you CAN'T bit shave or compress. Unfortunately it requires far more care and maintenance by the cable company to keep noise down or you get snowy pictures.
If those TV's had a box the result would be the same until you tune the digital channels, SD or HD, because only with digital can you further compress a signal and they do that all the time to conserve bandwidth providing more and more degraded channels over fewer good looking channels; quantity versus quality.
