TV System Question

I have Time Warner Cable. It's expensive, but my question is about picture quality. The picture on the main TV with the cable box is great. But, I have 3 other TVs and the picture quality is lousy. Plus, the channel numbers are different which is very confusing. The other TV's get a lot less channels and a lot of them are Mexican.
Is there a system that gives you the same hight quality picture and the same channel numbers on all TV's without having to rent a seperate box for each one?

I have U-verse and AT&T charges extra for each TV. I get around that by using a 75 ohm cable run through the attic. The picture on the dining room set is just as good as the mother TV, but I can't change channels from the secondary set.

I assume you have to watch the same channel on both TVs. Maybe I could move back to Duncanville where I could get all the channels with an antenna in the attic. :D

I think that on most cable systems you need a set top box for HD.

I still have an antenna that we routinely use for dining room TV and the picture is perfect. Better than U-verse on most channels, but of course we can't get ESPN, Fox Southwest Sports or any of the other goodies offered on cable. However, a flip of the switch and the set becomes a U-verse slave unit.
