Yes you need an antenna. HD channels use the same antennas as the old analog channels. The rule of thumb is that if an antenna gets good analog reception (particularly on analog channels 14-69), then it's probably good enough for digital reception.

Occasionally you will here of people who live very near TV transmitter towers that pick up a signal without any antenna at all but this is not to be depended on.
