Can you receive hdtv signals on dig. cable?

i live in denver, the current but soon to be former headquarters of at&t broadband. i noticed a quite perceptible improvement moving from analog to digital cable. nonetheless, i'm dumping cable altogether because: (1) i'm fed up to my eyeballs with at&t's bungling, particularly after the @home switch over fiasco, and; (2) i'd like to get the full functionality from my loewe aconda hdtv, so i'm installing satellite hdtv dishes and a STB, which i'm hoping will include tivo. i don't foresee hdtv availability on cable for quite some time; the major players are just too screwed up to care. -cfb

BTW, here's a site that defines nearly all internet chat terms and symbols:

mejames: and that's 5 more than you can get on cable. BTW, i don't think you're counting the "big 4" or 5 in your calculation, nor the premium sports channels. -cfb
