I now have Comcast HD and am not really happy with the quality of the vid and will go to Direct TV this Saturday. I hope that the SQ is the same or better and that the advertising of videio lives up to what they are saying about BluRay quality video. Any insight into this?

I have no issue with directv. It's great. HD channels look amazing expecially 2009 programs on Discovery, History, Animinal, Science, Foodtv, and regular stations. Even over the air HD channels can't come close to directv PQ. Some looks like blu-ray. Sound quality is also good. I would not switch to any other carrier.

...Unless someone can prove otherwise, OTA has the best picture quality available because it doesn't have to go around the block and back. Exactly where do you think the satellite companies get their signal?

Theoretically true when the full bandwidth is devoted to a single OTA HD channel.
Not true when multiple sub-channels are used.

Even so, cable, and satellite still have to draw on the OTA signal, unless you are saying that the OTA sources are providing a better image to cable and satellite, but not providing the same quality signal OTA.

If you have Verizon FiOS available in your area, give it a shot.
Out of Dish, DirecTV, and local cable, I have found it to have the best picture and sound.
