An FM trap is a filter intended to block FM signals. Strong FM signals can ('can' does not mean 'will every time') interfere with TV reception.

If the Hauppauge tuner has a separate input for FM, you'll need to split to feed the separate TV and FM inputs. However, if you have a separate FM input, I'd suggest you opt for separate TV and FM antennas along with separate cabling for each. That way you'll avoid the possibility of FM interference to TV reception.

The CM-3010 is a good antenna in your application. Others to consider are the Winegard HD7000R, HD7010... Channel Master CM-3016, CM-3018... Antennacraft C290 or C490.
