i find the 32" a bit too much for my room. my room is pretty cramped as is so combined with a small space and reg digital cable the picture is not that great. i wonder if i drop down to a 26-27" if the picture would improve since it is smaller?

all you need is a coathanger, an old piece of coaxial cable (think regular TV cable, cable) and a cheap connector from pretty much any electronics store.
there's a thread about it somewhere on here

there's a thread about it somewhere on here | Only downside is that you can really only pull in 2-3 channels from OTA HD. It's not like in the US where all the major channels have an OTA broadcast.
SD TV on a smaller TV will look better than one on a larger TV. It's not going to be crisp/sharp as a HD broadcast, but it'll look better just because the size of the picture is smaller.
