The Motorola set top box that I got from Comcast for digital cable does include an S-Video out as well as a coaxial and optical out for audio (Dolby 5.1 on some channels).

Unfortunately, picture quality via the S-Video out is still the same as what I had with plain ole analog cable that required no box at all. The slightly fuzzy channels are still as fuzzy. The ONLY place I see significant improvement is in a handful of 'premium' channels which I plan to drop anyway after the promo period. Frankly, I was expecting "S-Video Quality" on all my channels.... no such luck so I'm not impressed. I might hang around with Comcast cable just to try out their HDTV offerings hopefully later this month. Otherwies, I see myself with a satellite setup by year's end.

Just to be fair, I've been very pleased with the level of reliability and speed I get from Comcast cable internet access.
