A:AnswerYes, it works off an internet connection. No cable box, but you won't get any local channels (there are some "free" Samsung channels, but the quality is so-so. I subscribe to a secondary streaming service (youtubetv, hulutv, etc.) to get local channels.
I will say that overall quality is dependent on your wifi signal. I ended up connecting mine through the ethernet port on my internet router. Works fantastic!
