A:Answer Hi Timmae, great question. This TV can be used for all of the purposes you suggested, with the exception of an internet connection. In order to activate your new Roku-branded TV, you'll need to sign in to your Roku account (or create a new one), which does require an internet connection. However, in a pinch, you could utilize a phone's hotspot connection to set this up. Once activated, you could use the TV as a 'dumb' TV with your antenna, as described. We hope this helps!
