Generally satellite reception is better than cable even when the two are both sent digitally. A satellite signal transfer is more direct and therefore has less chance of interference. The cable signal travels through many feet of wire and connection points. These provide a greater chance of interference. The only time the opposite is true is during bad weather when the satellite signal can degrade.
