TV Question! Please help!

Alrighty, well I need some advice on a television I have just purchased. First off, it's a good brand (Mitsubishi) and it's a MONSTER television (73"). It has DLP technology and is HD integrated. Which, my understanding was, meant that there was an HD tuner inside of it that would convert the signal on basic channels to an HD picture-quality image. My TV's image quality, however, SUCKS, and I don't know what to do about it. My TV does NOT look like the ones at the store, and I'm worried that I've been suckered in here.
So then, I called up and asked them what I could do. They told me I was 30 miles away from the nearest HD signal tower, which may be part of it. They suggested I go and purchase an HD amplified antennae at Best Buy/Radio Shack/whatever. I did this and installed it. Did no good.
Finally, I talked to my satellite company about purchasing HD, which means they would have to come out and install a new dish for $300 and yadda yadda yadda. And then, of course, it would only work on SOME channels, not ALL channels. And it raises the question: is my TV picture quality still going to be crappy when I'm watching a DVD?
This all seems ridiculous. I would really just like a good picture quality and it seems like I can't get it with the current size of my TV. Should I exchange it for something smaller? Should I go the plasma route? They had talked me out of plasma because it spikes your electric bill, may suffer burnout, and basically has not yet become a perfected technology. Plus, my limit is $3,000 -- which is what this big monster cost.
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated! I'm no TV guru, obviously, but I would just like a TV with a GREAT picture quality -- size isn't really the issue, but I'd like to be around 50" or higher.
