HDTV transmitter/antenna information

I recently bought a HD receiver for my Direct TV and want to hook up an outdoor antenna to receive local networks etc.

I am having difficulty finding good information on what antenna to use and if it is likely that I could even receive HD from my location in Kalamazoo Michigan.

My receiver is a HR10-250 for Direct TV.

Any websites that can help? I have searched the archives on Agon and googled but no real answer.

ANY info is appreciated

thanks

I live in Monroe area, 35 miles south of Detroit and 35 miles North of Toledo.I bought a indoor Amplified Samsung antenna . It is better than the outdoor Rat Shack!. Picks up more stations!
With a switcher, I can get all the Detroit stations from the indoor antenna and all the Toledo stations with the outdoor.
Remember that most HD comes in UHF.
So outdoors get a a quality UHF Antenna.
