I live in RI and my local digital cable provider does not offer an HD channel for FOX or ABC.

I was wondering if there is an external antenna I can purchase that will hook into my HD ready TV to get the local HD programming? Or if there are any other options out there besides satelite programming that would make it possible to receive the channels in HD.

They do make antennas that receive a HD signal. they are roof mount and you should be able to find a few if you google them.

Here is one of them,
