we still are not clear exactly whether the sub simply receives the additional channels over the newly available digital bandwidths & continues to receive previously provided channels via analog transmission, or whether ALL his programming is not delivered digitally.

I've had experience with Adelphia and Time Warner. In both cases, the digital programming was a separate tier of service which added additional channels to your existing tier; the additional channels were the only ones which were digital. I do not know if this is the way it is done everywhere, though.

As far as picture quality is concerned, the limited amount of digital cable I have viewed was nothing very impressive. I think the MSO's use digital broadcast more as a way to squeeze more channels into their existing bandwidth than deliver superior picture quality.
