Well, what's your explanation, given that digital has a wider
bandwidth than analogue?

I don't know what bandwidth most digital channels are broadcast at, but
I generally see a lot of MPEG artefacts on digital telly. That's through
NTL (IIRC their signal comes from terrestrial digital, and is then
bunged into the cable network).

The artifacts are a separate issue from the resolution. Also, something
which is re-broadcast down cable depends on the interface equipment etc
being up to standard - and that's not usually a fact of life with cable
companies.
