You most likely only need basic cable. You usually only have to pay extra if you want the premium HD content (ESPN HD, etc). Most cable companies don't advertise that they broadcast the local networks HD content (ABC, NBC, CBS, etc) for free. You just need an HDTV with a QAM tuner, or you can buy QAM tuner separately if your TV doesn't come with one.
Here's some more info:
