Antennas are designed to work in certain frequency bands. They are essentially "tuned" to one or more bands (Depending on elements used) to increase the gain in those bands. Now if the signal is strong enough from all channels you can get by with just connecting a wire to the antenna input. The length of the wire in terms of the wavelengths of the signals being received determines how well the antenna matches to the incoming signal. So the answer is try using your old antenna and if you have signal strength problems you can rotate the antenna or get one specifically designed for your HD channels. Another option is to use an amplifier at the antenna to boost signal going to the TV.
If you are close enough to the broadcasting station, you can use a coat-hanger, so NO it doesn't require a special antenna to receive the digital high definition signal locally.
