The LG 65" Class B5 Series OLED AI 4K UHD Smart webOS TV (2025), Model # OLED65B5PUA, does not require internet for setup. It can can still function without being online, offering several traditional and offline capabilities. If you prefer OTA (Over-the-Air) TV Programming, you can connect an indoor or outdoor antenna to the F-Type, 75-Ohm coaxial connector on the back of the TV labeled 'Antenna/Cable In', and use the Auto Tuning function that automatically searches and remembers channels that are available for viewing, and are being broadcast at the time you search for them, or you can use the Manual Tuning to manually search and save channels, and searching and check the signal strength of the digital broadcasting. However, without internet access, you will miss out on features like streaming services and online content updates. Platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime have become essential for many viewers, offering a wide array of movies, TV series, and exclusive content. Without internet access, these services remain out of reach, limiting your ability to enjoy the vast libraries they provide. Setting up a smart TV without internet connectivity is generally straightforward. The initial setup typically involves selecting the preferred language, setting the time and date, and choosing the input sources. An internet connection enhances the setup process by allowing automatic updates and app installations, and keeping the software updated, which often includes bug fixes, new features, and security patches that protect the TV from vulnerabilities, but it is not necessary for the initial configuration...^Ivan.
