No we haven't, vested interests came along and ruined it. Freeview has
been buggered up by putting on so many channels that half of them look like
a live report from Legoland as soon as anyone moves because of the mpeg
blocking artifacts. Even the main BBC channels can't cope with highly
mobile scenes such as running water or sea surf without noticable blocks
appearing in the picture. Compared to a decent PAL transmission it looks
utter ****.

Better then digital in the UK?.

What I meant was that the UK, PAL, Analogue signal was, IMHO, always
superior to the US, NTSC, Signal. Although in the latter years of
NTSC broadcasters seemed to have cleaned it up somewhat.

And where are the digital pix sourced from on your cable system?..

All US TV is now digital. I do not know how the local TV stations
deliver their signal the Cable Company. It may be over the air.
But, I rather suspect they use some sort of direct feed, or
Satellite. Other services, like A&E, AMC, Bravo, TMC, etc are
certainly received from Satellites.
