digital cable vs satellite

Is there a significant difference in the picture quality between these two?

Sometimes. Usually satellite is better for cable stations (non-HD) and
worse for locals (non-HD). At least that's been my experience. HD should
be comparable on both.

Mine is just the opposite. My analog cable is better on a 42" Panny Plasma
monitor.

In my experience satellite has always been better than cable (in both sound
and picture quality), although allot depends simply on the hardware
(receiver). One thing I've noticed is that the menus and ease of use
features available on most satellite receivers is WAY better than cable
receivers. Faster response times in changing channels, and opening menus are
another benifit. One thing I just recently noticed: look in the back of the
cable companies lot and tell me what you see..... (satellite dishes...)
pretty funny stuff.

The difference is that the dishes they are using are FAR more
powerful than what the DirecTV/Dish Network ones are
capable of.
