I have digital TV but so far I don't get what is SOOOOO great about it. Will somebody please enlighten me?

Question

I was forced to get a digital converter box from my cable company but ever since I have gotten it I have had my picture "pixiling, going black with green lines in it, video and audio being interrupted. At times my cable company claims that they're having an "outage" but I never had this problem BEFORE I had to get the box. And when my "digital" picture does this it never happens at the same time, or anything. I can have the channel on anywhere from less than one hour to 5 hours and never at the same time. So what is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO wonderful about "digital TV" because I have yet to see anything so hot about it.

Answer 1

Looks like your cable installation is way too noisy, which causes all the issues you mentioned. Call the cable company and ask them to come and check your installation. You are supposed to get better picture not worse.

Answer 2

In cable, it's mostly for their benefit.  they can put more channels and the internet in the same space the old way took.  (it should keep them from raising prices even more than if they had to run more cable)
