Actually, I think the digital cable provided by Cox in Phoenix sounds absolutely horrid. It's not an issue of the Axioms as it sounded worse previously, but the signal is ass. Very rarely are the non-digital cable channels even stereo, it seems. The digital channels at least play in stereo and do sound good if pumped through the digital out (horrific through standard RCA), however, only a couple movies have ever been broadcast by them in DD5.1. Makes me want to strangle the guy on the commercials.
