    The Tivo HD receiver will only pick up HD signals from your cable if it has the correct card in it and you pay extra for the service from your cable company. If not, you would only be able to pick up the cable stations as regular not HD. As to over the air, any Radio Shack etc. will sell you an antenna for outside, they look like a UHF antenna. You can also just use an inside antenna but you need to be very close to the stations for it to work. If you are more than 50 miles from a transmitter, you'll have problems. If you have a HD TV and an HD Tivo, just pay the cable company to hook it up for you the right way.
