Just to clarify, many (most?) new TVs will decode digital tv in the US,
provided you have an antenna. We got a 32 inch flat screen last summer
for a very reasonable price, no converter required, and it's huge
improvement over the old tube. The converter boxes were needed if you
wanted to use an older TV. Newer DVRs seem to have the tuners too.
But you're right, when it's good it can be very good. Some channels
overcompress and the quality is mediocre. But if the signal is bad
it's pretty jaring. It may very well not be worth the effort and
expense to install a high-quality outdoor antenna for some people,
if that's even an option.
