No for stations too far away, and generally No in my basement. Reception can be greatly improved by using an antenna, either the plain old T-type antenna, rabbit ears, or something fancier. For a bit more information, see the source listed below, or google around. The short and direct answer to your question is: Yes, and No.

So you will still need an antenna but I have been able to pick up HD signals better than analog with my HD receiver.
