tvOS & Apple TV Apps
What exactly is Apple TV, and what kind of content can I access? Do I need to connect speakers, either wired or Bluetooth? How does it connect to my wireless network?
Thanks to any or all answers to my questions.

Does Apple TV provide access to local TV stations or is it purel
Does Apple TV provide access to local TV stations or is it purely just a streaming content reciever?
What I am looking for is a standard TV that provides spoken feedback when you do something like change a channel or setting. Since I am single and live alone, only audio output is required.
Love my Apple TV
I've had an Apple TV for over a year now, and it is amazing overall.
I have mine hooked into a receiver that accepts HDMI, and other than when company comes over, I never turn our TV on.
In addition to watching downloaded content an streaming audio from any I device, there are lots of different content sources, such as major league baseball, you tube, net flix, and lots more.
I highly suggest getting a Bluetooth keyboard, as using the included remote to enter text in searches is a pain.
The one I have is a Logitech, forget the model number, but you can control up to three devices with it, so mine works with my iPad, iPhone and the Apple tv.
It is definitely the best $100 I ever spent on a piece of hardware for entertainment.
Gene, to answer your question
The AppleTV works with streaming services, not local television.
