For a visualization of how terrible NTSC resolution is, check out this resolution comparison. Note: the resolution comparison probably overstates NTSC broadcast resolution. Plus, in order to obtain anywhere near that resolution, you had better have a good comb filter on your TV. Also, if you want that promised resolution from DVDs, make sure you've got a good connection between your DVD and your TV - if you use a composite connector then you will get broadcast resolution from your DVD!
