Will I get a high quality picture on my 46" Samsung series 6, 6900 LED TV using only a digital adapter or will I also need an hd dvr box?

What I mean is: will the signal coming from the digital adapter give me as good a picture as the signal from a hd top-set box? I do not want to degrade the picture quality that I currently get from having the hd-dvr top-set box.
