I can only say that COMCAST Digital cable has been good to me. I am not happy with the cost, but support has been good (maybe I am lucky).
I addition, I am building my own TIVO (sourceforge.freevo) which works great for the first 100 channels, but cannot get the others unless you decode through comcast of course.
I do not know if Direct TV solves this however
using their TIVO box probably does!
