In addition to over 120 regular channels I get about 2 dozen HD channels on my Olevia 542i (42" LCD) with no converter box. Is this unusual?

When I switch from the standard channel to the HD version of the same program the difference is absolutely stunning.

You are extremely lucky!
It appears your cable company sends out unscrambled signals so for you, no cable box is necessary. This is not the case in many areas which is why a cable box is needed.

I would say you must have HD cable fed straight to the television that requires no cable box. Our cable Co. requires us to use their HD/Digital cable box. Most channels are digital, with 24 HD ones. I use a Monster
HDMI to DVI cable to go from the TV to the cable box. This gives me a good resolution on both formats , due to the interface in the HDMI cable.

If it's broadcast in HD then yes, you will recieve the HD channels on over the air cable. Coax will recieve HD just as well as a component cable or HDMI.

convinced a HD Tuner will allow you to view HDTV channels yet you WONT get carry of the customary of HD image or sound it will be of a SD high quality because analogue TVs dont have the pixel rankings that LCDs or Plasmas do. Its all about the pixel score on your television demonstrate screen.

There is a difference in "getting the channels" and "getting the channels in HD". I get them also, but they are not in HD.
