A:Answer Yes, it picks up the signal from a wireless router. No need to connect to a cable I’d you choose not to. This being a Roku tv, all I had to do was download, in my case, the Spectrm app and enter my account info. I already had a Roku account, so it was easy for me. The only negatve is that the remote just lets you scroll up and down through your cable channels...no direct number access on remote. Picture quality is great. Movie watching is great for Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc.
