Where is the definitive source of how to get the best possible output from my FTA box?

The Ultra doesn't have a 480p or 720p output. At least my US version doesn't. The Ultra just has regular 480i NTSC, ie composite.
The
Mercury, on the other hand, has a component output, which might be capable of 480p (but not 720p), although it seems to me that you'd have to find a 480p feed, and most of the 480 feeds I've seen are interlaced. I'm about to connect my Mercury to the component input of my new TV. (
Yes, I finally got a new TV, and it's a lot of fun.) So I may be looking for interesting feeds to try it out on. If you know of a 480p feed, I'll try it.
