Where are you? Standards vary by region.
The idea of 'HDTV' is still somewhat nebulous. There are two dominant resolutions in North America (720p and 1080i); if your television is set to display pixel-for-pixel rather than upscale, a 720p image will have a black border on all sides on a 1080 display. In addition, HDTV channels may not necessarily broadcast in high definition throughout the entire day. It's not uncommon for a network to broadcast non-primetime programming in standard definition to conserve bandwidth.
I'm wondering, though, how a 36" television could be considered small in any context.
