Why is digital cable channels coming in so poorly?
I have TWC and I have a 46' lcd hdtv and I have digital cable. Anyway SD looks alot better than the digital channels that I get..why is that? I am going to be getting an HD box soon..but I was wondering why my digital channels are coming in so bad? is it hardware?? any suggestions would be great..thanks in advance..mike
Answer:
Something is wrong.... digital should be absolutely clear. I know it is on satellite boxes. And, contrary to the first poster, signal strength shouldn't matter on digital... you either get it clearly or you don't get it at all if the signal is weak. That's the beauty of digital signals. That's why I say something is wrong and it's probably in the cable box where the digital signal is decoded. When you get your HD box, you will see what I'm talking about.
Poster number two would only be correct if it were an over the air signal. Since it's not, it can only be the box or there's a poor signal going in ahead of the encoder at the cable company's central office. low signal to your t.v. probably need a cable booster... Normally, digital cable channels get poor reception when the weather is not so great. that happened to me once and it turned out that someone damaged the underground cable while digging holes for a fence post. Call your cable provider and have them check the lines.
