Newbie..help!

[Ancillo]

just got a fujitsu-siemens MYRICA SE32 BE
its my 1st LCD and I have some concerns:
1-image quality TV:
I'm watching regular cable TV and I have a very very poor quality.
I guess its because LCD needs a Digital signal to give good results.

2-image quality DVD:
I'm also watching DVDs via a super.bargain player ($50) and I'm getting a pretty fair definition/quality. Do you think by getting a good DVD player things will change?

3-good info/sources/links:
can u give some other top links where to get the best info for LCD/DVD

thx!!

Regular analog cable usually looks terrible on a high quality HDTV. DVDs represent the best that NTSC standard definition television has to offer, but the deficits of standard definition are revealed. A high end dvd player that upsamples is still limited to 480 lines of horizontal resolution on the disc.
