D* and E* are going through the pains now...cable isnt, but will have to eventually...
Cable has the bandwith, now, but as HD proliferates, they will not....Cable has a small window here (probably until summer 07 when D* has their new fleet up) to dominate HD....
I will suffer with D* for the next 6-10 months, as I truly believe by next fall the D* bandwagon will be getting full...that is, if they can indeed deliver every available HD channel with higher bitrates and lower/better compression...
Big ifs, but we shall see...
