This TV is, in some ways, "old school." That is, you get a TV signal either through connecting it to your cable TV or you can connect an HDTV external antenna... of which there are a lot of choices. If you connect via cable you will receive all of the channels you subscribe to through your cable company. If you use an HDTV external antenna you will receive ONLY the over-the-air digital TV channels available in your area. (You can find a list of the available over-the-air signals in your area by entering "over-the-air TV stations near me" in your browser search bar). 

This model does not connect to internet because it does not have "smart TV" functionality built-in. That was one reason I chose this model: it is for a person who struggles with technology, and for whom a selection of streaming channels would be confusing. I wanted a TV that is as straightforward as possible, and this fits the bill nicely. Note that you can always add a streaming stick later on, from any of the popular brands.

You can choose from a wide range of external HDTV antennas: some with a stand for use indoors; some that stick to a nearby window; and, some that mount in the attic or on the roof. Choosing the right one will depend upon how near/far you are from the broadcast towers and the kind of obstacles (buildings or hills) between you and there.

You can use an outdoor antenna for better reception.
