I have TWC digital cable with HDTV, your first 60 channels, are still the analog ones, like you'd get on analog cable, but all the rest are digital. It's kind of a toss up between Satellite and Digital Cable, sort of up to you to do your research to find out what you'd rather have....but it really is the real deal. They do carry the HDTV channels, and you will get them in HDTV, here in MN I get all my locals in HDTV plus HBO HD, and Showtime HD. I had AT&T, but I hated them, and couldn't get Satellite because I had nowhere to put a dish that could look south, so I went with TWC. They just rolled out Video On Demand too, it kicks ass.
