Any PQ diff between cable/satellite HD signals?

----- HDTV Magazine Tips List -----

Alan,

The satellite companies have been limiting HD resolution:

Generally, the cable companies have not been limiting resolution. Also,
many cable systems actually provide BETTER local HD reception than over
the air where the local stations (particularly PBS) are multicasting and
using severe compression on their HD signal. Often, the local stations
feed their signals separately to the cable head end via fiber or
microwave. In these cases the cable receives (and provides) a much
better HD signal than OTA.
