If you have a HDTV do you still require a set top box given that I am having problems with receiving a particular station?

No. The set top box includes a digital tuner, which is what enables the TV to change channels and interpret a digital signal. However, if your screen is an HDTV it already includes a tuner which is capable of high-definition (HD) video reception. As HD is simply a high-resolution digital signal, this also means that your HDTV will receive any digital signal, and does not require the separate set top or "converter box".
On the other hand, in some rare instances, retailers have marketed HD and SD (standard-definition) monitors alongside their TVs. These DO NOT include tuners, and as such must be used with a digital set-top box in order to receive current digital broadcasts.
Further, in many instances, VCRs and DVD recorders may not include a tuner. This means in order to record from a particular channel, one must have the set top box (which includes a tuner) in order to record using such a VCR or DVD recorder. However, this is easily remedied if one ALREADY has a tuner with an audio/video output; in many cases, their existing cable or satellite receiver already serves this purpose, as it would have a tuner already.
If you are having problems receiving a particular station, an antenna upgrade or amplifier may remedy the situation, but many times local broadcasters are the culprit, using lower strength digital broadcasts than their former analog counterparts.
