My 720p and 1080i look great. Why does my 480i digital picture look crummy? I have the Toshiba 32HL95.

Greetings
480i cable/satellite?
(Generalized)
DVD ... 350,000 pixels
720p hd ... 930,000 pixels
1080i hd ... 2 million pixels
Cable ... 230,000 pixels ...
The TV cannot conjure up new detail out of thin air.
Regards

I am asking the question, because I have satellite. I am wondering why the picture on my hdtv looks worse than the picture on my old picture tube tv that has 480i.
