Jack, you seem to have hit the issue right on the nose. I have been experiencing this yo-yo, up and down situation with cable channel quality since I have had my Cox digital cable installed last week. The only channels that don't fluctuate in quality are the HD channels. I have noticed the worst channel is the WGN feed from Chicago. The resolution and overall quality of the channel is at best horrible. For some reason, CBS is by far the best in PQ with NBC a close second. Both UPN and The WB are passable. TNT is pretty darn good, but the Sci-Fi channel, my favorite, and TBS are almost as bad as WGN. When I viewed regular analog cable with my direct view 36" Panny, most of the channels looked decent. Now on my 40" RCA HDRPTV the quality varies wildly.
