Since the incorporation of digital tv, reception is not the same.
In the days of Amplitude Modulation, a carrier wave (the tv station's transmitting frequency) contained variations in the power level of the signal which varied the amplitude when received and your video detector in your tv scooped that off and threw away the carrier. Sent the results to the video and color circuits (if you had color) and sent it to the boob tube. The sound came in via frequency changes (Frequency Modulation) and was scooped off to that circuitry.
In comes digital where the signal is chopped up in Bits of 1's and 0's. Lot more signal distinction to receive and noise (snow) got lost in the wayside.
The result for me was that I ceased to get snow and I could pull in stations that I couldn't get before.
You aren't going to believe the difference in what you can buy today and what you have been watching. It is truly night and day and there just is no comparison I'm going to say regardless of whose brand you buy. So go find yourself a good deal on a tv that has a good picture and go for it. Buy it from someone that will take it back if you don't like it.
The other thing that you won't believe is the picture, digital quality and big screen. Thin tube, no bulbous Cathode Ray Tube with the long neck sticking out the rear and the heavy weight. I think my last boob tube was a 27", Sony brand and it weighed 150". Try getting that up on a shelf by yourself. My current 37" IC power brand weighs about 20. Had it for over 10 years. Set it up and haven't touched it since.
Oh, and the kicker is with digital tv, no convergence. No red or blue or green lines along the collar of white shirts; no big smears that need to be degaussed if you run the vacuum cleaner too close to the set. Jacks for all your audio and accessory goodies......the list just goes on and on.
Oh, and today remote control is standard equipment!
The other day I was in Wally World and they had Samsung (as good as they get) digital tv's, about 37" diagonal measure (what's your current, 25?) for $300. I'd bet you paid more for your current tv if color, than that without any inflation adjustment.
Oh and you can throw your converter away and that too will help in the quality of signal. You don't need one with digital tv.
Last, when is the last time you installed a new antenna and lead in wire? That too can make a whopping difference. Radio Shack carries them for one.

Today's Featured Article - Good As New - by Bill Goodwin. In the summer of 1995, my father, Russ Goodwin, and I acquired the 1945 Farmall B that my grandfather used as an overseer on a farm in Waynesboro, Georgia. After my grandfather’s death in 1955, J.P. Rollins, son of the landowner, used the tractor. In the winter 1985, while in his possession the engine block cracked and was unrepairable. He had told my father
