1. yes you will need to purchase an off air antenna, have it installed in your roof or where it is more convenient and just run a line from the antenna to your TV. If you are using indoor antenna that probably won't do the job. Also need to verify if in your area you receive HD locals and not only Locals
2. There are a number of stations you should be able to get. I'm attaching several links. I entered your zip into the first one, and it came up with a number of stations that it predicts you can get with an indoor antenna. A lot depends on whether there are any obstacles in the way. There are also stations that will require an outdoor antenna. You'll have to decide which ones you want to try for. Radio Shack has a number of models available on-line. Be aware that "more expensive" doesn't always mean the best reception, and that some antennas may pick-up a number of channels well, and still miss one or two others. http://www.tvfool.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29 http://www.hdtvantennalabs.com/index.php http://www.antennaweb.org/aw/welcome.aspx http://www.hdtvmagazine.com/programming/broadcast.php
