Digital cable is going great now a days with increasing count of HD channels.

 

[Sanjeev]

Yes day by day digital cable is expanding the channel count of HD channels

Digital Cable is best for HD I hope after 2 - 3 years MSOs will also become mature enough and will give tough competition to DTHs, now have no mood to subscribe HD in DTH and waiting for mature MSO to lure me with HD.

Great going GTPL.!!!!.Now digi cables have also surpassed many dth in HD channel count...(except dish)
animal planet HD & TLC world and SSHD4 ...

 

[DashMajor]

I think no DTH is capable enough to give cheap HD packs the more they add HD the heavy that package becomes I agrees dual taxation is one of the issue but currently can't do much lets the see the faith of Digital Cable and DTH after 1 year.

Important think is not more HD channels but cheap packages I don't think HD channel will ever comes to the league of common man like SD ? so for me future of HD is for few peoples only.
