The TUNER inside the TV set is a HI Def tuner....and you DON'T NEED a $100 antenna...that is bullsh*t !
BUT.....you do need a $20 antenna for the local TV stations.
An OUTDOOR antenna can help with locking the signal 100% of the time. Look at this website:

This helps you point the antenna, and selects the proper outdoor antenna if you do have reception problems with your Tabletop antenna....get a powered indoor antenna for $20 first.

If you are close enough, an indoor antenna is a great idea. The "Phillips Silver Sensor" is $30 and seems to do a great job.
Or if you have Cable or Sat - see about upgrading your service to include HD Locals.
