You are getting a "pass through". (you could probably set up your cable box for a pass through too). But it is not the same as the OTA quality. They just can't send you all the digital information of the original 1080i or 720p, of all the stations at the same time over a cable. On the other hand, the TV station has no problem broadcasting one station HD stream over the air.
