Channel Quality

Jan 18, 2005 1:38AM PST

I recently purchased a Panasonic TV and have it hooked up to an analog cable box. I notice that there is a differece in quality from one channel to the next. For the most part cable channels (HBO, VH1) have really good pictures while Channels like 3,6,10 are just ok. Is this normal? I had assumed it wasn't a problem with the TV since only certain channels are affected. The TV is an analog TV so would getting digital cable give more consistent picture quality?
