HDTV With Digital Cable quality

Hey, a friend of mine bought a Panasonic PT-47WX42 47" Widescreen HTDV the other day. He said that the guy at the store he bought it from said that when you hook up a HDTV to digital cable (which he has) its not very recommendable as there is noise in the picture. I am just wondering if anyone knows anything about this? is there actually a noticeable quality loss?
 
I just got a HDTV cable box for my TV ( a 46" Mitsubishi Widescreen) and the 5 HDTV channels I do get are good, provided the stream is actual HDTV. A lot of the time it isn't.

I watched Gladiator the other night and it was sweet to say the least.
 
We use our HDTV with DirecTV and it looks fantastic... Cant wait to see the full 1080 when they get a HDTV Reciever in a year or so...

It looks sweet... trust me. 🙂

I wish I could pause it so I could compare it to a DVD
 
there's a lot of compression artifacts with poor digital cable channels. This of it like a picture file, a strong analog signal is like a BMP, and a digital cable channel would be like a JPEG.
