What problems are you having?
My HDTV plays non HD channels almost as well has the HD channels.
Except of course for the widescreen.
Follow Ups:
I have a 32" Sharp LCD bought in 2005.
My son has a 52" Mitsubishi bought in 2004.I admit there's tendency to compare the HD to the standard definition.
But on my Sharp, with SD its easy to see the broadcast TV pixels. There doesn't appear to be a solid line. Also, colors and white/blacks don't seem as white/black as with my CRT. With DVDs, the pixels are less obvious, but my 35" CRT seems to have fuller color and more contrast. It's not bad, but its not as good as a CRT.
With HD, the colors and contrast seems similar to my CRT.
The Mitsubishi is worse, but that could be because its large and rear projection. SD TV and DVDs just do not have solid colors or crisp lines. Everything is a little fuzzy. It's not even close to SD CRT performance.
With HD, however, colors and the sharpness are vastly improved.
By the way, I love my Sharp and would buy another. We're not sure that we would buy another Mitsubishi mainly becasue its not very user friendly.

That's got to be your TV. I sit 9-10' from my 60" Sony, and I don't have those problems. Sure, some SD broadcasts look like crap, but not all of them. DVDs on my set look absolutely superb, especially through an upscaling player.
I think you really need to take a look at your set-up, something isn't right.
