The picture is as good as a VHS cassette. This means the picture lacks detail and comes flat. I didn't like it at all. Its a digital signal but not the dame quality as directv. the picture was bad.

That's what happens when they digitize analog signals to feed them into the Sat. Even as the signal you get is pure digital in TX and RX the original source material was not originated digitally as it's required for the full digital TV experience.
You can see the best example of that kind of low quality service TV if you have Dish or Directv service and subscribe to a Dominican channel option. The picture and sound quality is not any better than if you were holding a coat hanger for an antenna while watching TV in the DR from air service...
The need to get the source feed for their transmission feeds to the Sat in a native digital format including the sound. I guess they just rebroadcast the signal they get from their terrestrial dishes and could care less for signal quality from the source...
It costs a lot of dough to get a full digital broadcasting board, without mentioning the direct digital lines from all the channels to be broadcasted fed into that board.
