Its not uncommon for some subchannels to look bad. The stations usually don't put much money into them.
In most cases, a good picture won't be had by a TV straight out of the box.
Spend the $10-$15 and get a calibration disc. It will make a big difference. Also, go to www.avsforum.com and look for a thread on your set, or line of models (usually the same except for size), and see what other people have the settings tuned to. This can save you a lot of time and grief-its a starting point if nothing else.
