A Shaw digital box will do nothing for you for picture quality as far as the analog channels are concerned. (Channels 2-50) All it does is converts the signal to digital, and then back to analog for a regular TV. If you use the HD box the analog channels get converted to digital, and if you have an HD TV they can stay digital for the trip to the TV.
To give you an example of how going analog to digital won't help you- let's say you have an old cassette tape that is worn, and always plays with a hiss. If you take that tape and burn it to a CD, you won't see an increase in sound quality.
Myself, one of the reasons I went to Bell was the improvement on picture quality. Star Choice and Bell are about the same for quality.
