• no, you would have to have a cable box as they are scrambled. You can connect an external antenna for local channels though.

• Thank you for your inquiry! Yes, the Insignia™ 40" Class FE Series LED Full HD Smart Fire TV can play cable channels through the coaxial input without a cable box, thanks to its built-in ATSC/NTSC/Clear QAM tuner. This allows you to connect a coaxial cable directly from a wall outlet or antenna and scan for available channels. Although the remote does not have traditional number buttons, you can still navigate channels using the channel up/down buttons, access a channel guide through the Fire TV interface, or use Alexa voice commands to switch channels. This setup provides a convenient way to watch live TV without needing additional equipment. Keith | Insignia Support
