So with my new 50 inch samsung PDP, I have made up my mind and decided to not get a converter for HD channels. I'm thinking about an antenna to get HD stations over the air though.
One thing I noticed is that when I first bougt the TV and scanned it, I actually picked up some local HD channels. However, I felt that the quality was not the same for all the channels. there are 1 or 2 channels which are great quality, but a majority of teh channels are just so so. when I go to these channels, the TV tells me that the stations are at 480i. There is also a "DTV" in the corner. the really great channels are showing to be at 1080i.
also, majority of the channels are not in full screen. there are black horizontal lines and vertical lines on a lot of the channels.
so my question is this:
since I am already getting some form of HD without any equipment, will buying an antenna help? will it make some of the 480i be 720p? will it make some of the stations full screen?
