Hello Ed,

Thank you for reaching out to us with your question. Yes, this unit can work without an internet connection. An internet connection is only needed if you will need to remotely access your unit.

Please let us know how we may further assist you,

Thank you.

Yes, If you are not connected to the internet everything will be stored on the drive and you will only be able to access video/pictures from that location close to a TV. 
I can connect to the drive via my TV (requires included cable and mouse, longer lengths available) and internet via router (cable included) but I was not able to connect to the drive via wireless or Bluetooth.
Even with an internet connection, the way I see it, full consumer access and manipulation can only be performed at the location of the drive unit. 
When you get the internet, you will have access to updates, app services and added features when/if available, and remote help, if ever needed. I hope this helps.
Thanks for reading.
