My laptop came with an an antenna (about 8" tall?) that I can plug into it. With that, I can pull in about 8 HD channels. Of course, your mileage may vary according to your distance from HD channel transmitters.

You can get an indoor antenna for as cheap as $10.99 at Best Buy. They also sell the more powerful, outdoor ones for up to $150:

thank you! is that like a set top box?

No, it's just an antenna. Connected to a digital tuner, it'll let you pull in nearby HD channels.

I see that you're in Australia. A quick google tells me that you guys are still in the process of switching over to digital. Looks like there's good info here: http://www.digitalready.gov.au/why.aspx
