Does anyone know if getting a HD cable box will improve the SD output, or is it mainly to convert the HD channels correctly? Right now SD looks like it's running at 480 and motion sometimes looks blurry, and if the HD box improves the SD quality it would better justify the cost of the new box.

Like Photon says it probably won't improve your SD picture but I'd still get the HD box. I find I rarely watch anything in SD anymore except for hockey and news shows and only because I don't have a choice. SD 480i is just not made for big screen TVs and is on it's way out.
