Can I use an antenna to get local digital channels? null

We appreciate your interest in the E55U-D2. This model does not include a tuner. We do include a complimentary HDMI cable to provide a higher resolution image from a cable, satellite or other HDMI supported device. Inexpensive external tuners can be added to the display by connecting to one of the HDMI inputs. Thanks and have a great day! -Randal

Yes, but you will also need an external tuner which costs $20-30.

You can, but you have to to get a tuner as well since this is not technically a TV, but a monitor (just like your computer has). It's simply a display that displays whatever is input to it (computer, game console, cable or satellite TV). Broadcast TV needs an antenna to receive the signal as well as a tuner, which is kind of the "brains" that converts the signal (for lack of a better explanation) , just like the receiver you get with cable or satellite. Most TV's have them built in, but most people never use the broadcast signal so Vizio has eliminated it (on this model E55U-D2) as a cost savings measure to keep the price low.

Yes but you will need the HDMI cable to the digital box or coax cable
