Can a smart TV pick up local channels without an antenna? While smart TVs typically come with built-in antennas, they are used for Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity — not for picking up free-to-air channels. You can always try using a less sophisticated analog antenna, but there’s a good chance you’ll experience signal problems.
