Clark, bandwidth is bandwidth if all else is equal. However, many old cable systems are not very well built and they have lots of noise and distortion that wreak havoc with digital signals. With analog TV signals, this causes snow on the screen and distortion of the signal that is noticable, but (sometimes) tolerable. With digital TV signals, the noise/distortion can cause you lose reception entirely, which is unacceptable. Hence, the statement about rebuilding cable systems. Dirty bandwidth doesn't equal clean bandwidth, and clean bandwidth is more important for digital TV signals than for analog TV signals.
