The HD portion is in the UHF band, so you need the UHF antenna. I friend of mine bout a $70 antenna, then discovered his old set of rabbit ears (which had the UHF part) worked just as well so returned the expensive one.

I built my own HD antenna using a scrap of wood and some clothes hanger.

Here are the plans I used - http://www.tvantennaplans.com/
The hardest part was finding the balun (transformer).
