Do I need a tuner?

Is there still some way I can use an antenna to receive an HD picture, or do I need some sort of tuner? Thanks.

You can buy HD tuners for a fair price on ebay but the one I have, Hisense, has some audio sync issues. The better quality ones like Motorola aren't cheap.

The Walmart near me had the Philips for $200 last I knew. I'm not a Philips fan, they are actually Funai, but people on VideoHelp seem to like them.
