I use a Coship CDVBC5120 Irdeto cable receiver which has an S-video out. Even with a good S-video interconnect, the video artifacts are still there, though overall composure is better than composite. I guess the processors inside these cheap STBs can't handle complex scenes all that well.
PS: As far as audio goes, the Coship has an optical digital out, which I have wired to my Denon 1603 HT Receiver. The Denon's DAC does a decent job, but the transmission is still only stereo, so does not do a 5.1 though both boxes support it.
Esteem lover, do you know any place in Chennai where I can buy a high quality STB off the shelf? I am looking for an Irdeto embedded cable receiver, which is not what is used either by Dish TV or Tata Sky.
