digital is not automagically better than analog for video signals, it depends on many variables (mostly interference and the quality of adc/dacs used in the display and source).
because the conversion is only as good as your A-D converters. I never said digital was automatically better then analog.
If something starts off as digital, and then is converted to analog... there will be looses (depending on the A-D conversion, you might not notice it). The same goes when converting information from analog to digital... there will be difference between the source and converted information.

why would the quality degrade? it's trancoding!
