Or am I stuck in having to purchase digital & HD cable (which will set me back over $80/month, almost double my current cable costs).
I want to take advantage of free HD broadcasts & enjoy DVDs in HD. Not to mention re-arrange my living room to accommodate the TV set.

Anything not broadcast in HD will look like SD. Half of what's broadcast in "HD" is not full resolution or is a compressed MPEG stream that macroblocks like crazy because the average consumer doesn't notice the difference and they can cram more channels in that way.
Solution: check a friend's HDTV with HD cable and see how it looks. If you don't know anyone with a similar TV and HD cable, suggest that one of your friends get a good TV and HD cable.
