Can I watch terrestrial/over-the-air broadcasting with Apple TV?

Can I watch terrestrial/over-the-air broadcasting with Apple TV? Does Apple TV provide terrestrial/over-the-air broadcasting on its own?

Not directly. The Apple TV box takes its input from the home network connection.

Indirectly, it is possible to install an antenna feed tuner box (e.g. HDHomeRun) that re-distributes that signal onto the home network, for the Apple TV box to pick up on, through a dedicated app (Channels).
