No, and actually you will probably get more over the air channels than before, and with much higher quality than you might expect. Some of the channels are being broadcast in HDTV format, which has higher resolution than standard TV. Look at other questions about HDTV and how to find out what stations are in your area and how to choose the best antenna.

Do you need antenna to receive digital signals on LCD TV the TV has a built in HDTuner Can we use indoor antenna?
All TVs including new ATSC Digital ones use the same frequencies as older NTSC Analog sets. An amplified antenna is recommended because there is a threshold where a weak analog signal will be visible (with considerable static) but a digital tuner will not have sufficient strength to display a digital (no noise or static) picture. Outdoor roof Antennas work great as well, you don't need an HDTV antenna, discount stores should have one for around $30.
Resolution refers to?
Resolution refers to the dots per inch (Dpi) on your monitor. The higher the resolution the better the picture. For instance next time you go shopping check out the HDTV, should say something like 1080X1000 or for laptop monitors it'll say 1024X768 which is the standard for laptops.

If you've been walking through the local electronics store, or browsing HDTVs online (and I'm sure you have), you may have noticed a lot of attention being payed to "120 Hertz," that is, the refresh rate of some newer model televisions. The refresh rate refers to the frequency with which the image on the screen is updated, or re-drawn. "120 Hertz" means that the image you are looking at on the HDTV is updated 120 times a second.
