To make sure you understand, the Apple TV does not have an antenna based tuner so you cannot receive broadcast TV channels over the air. Any live TV would have to be through a subscription to any number of streaming services as pointed out by user David McKinlay. A traditional cable tv subscription is not required.

Internet access, yes, and where required a subscription.
