I used to have so many pixelization issues with Concrap, and I didn't have digital, this stuff was down converted to regular and looked like hell. I can't tell you how many times I recorded adult swim at night and the picture would go nuts or freeze or just drop. I switched to sat and I don't have any problems except occasionally the picture will stall for a half second but that's rare, I have lost signal only on very bad rainy days and that was minimal lasting a few seconds (never more than 10) very unlike the stories that comcast force-feeds it's customers during cable-operator breaks). The quality could be a little better, but even still it's dozens of times better than the cable ever was.
