Yes to buying your own antenna. No to having an on board antenna. The better the antenna the better your reception. If you pay less than $40 you probably need to do more research.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you are wanting to watch local over the air TV you will need an antenna attached to the antenna connection on the rear of the TV. A good site to see what may be locallyviewable is http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/dtvmaps/ If you are watching cable, satellite or internet streams and don't want over the air stations you can skip the antenna.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have Samsung SUHD JS7000 series 55'' TV and it does not have an antenna integrated in it. I have little experience with different antennas but my latest purchase of RCA HD antenna is working really well. I can see over the ait TV channels from CBS, NBC, FOX, ABC and many more in 720p and 1080i resolution. I think, antenna requirement depends on your use. If you just want to stream contents over the internet or already have cable/satellite dish connection, you need not buy an antenna. However, if you want to watch over the air channels, it definitely will be required with JS7000. I usually stream contents over the internet through apps like netflix/hulu/amazon but like to have an option of watching sports and some latest TV shows most of which are broadcast over the air.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.An external HD antenna will be required for use with the digital tuner for over-the-air broadcasts. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S
