Cable is cable. When I was living on Centinela Hill, my host dumped his Comcast Cable, which frankly looked like crap, with a lot of visible compression on many channels, and got DirecTV instead. OMG! What a difference! The picture quality was crystal-clear, and only a few channels showed any kind of compression. You can have the best signal quality in the world, but it don't mean a hill of beans if it goes through a shitty cable provider. :)
Similarly, all Blurays won't look the same. It depends on how much the studio cares. :)
