You might not need an antenna or just a small one if the signal is strong
enough. Before the analog cutoff I used to get a couple of stations with
just rabbit ears.

I'm wondering how you think you're going to receive any TV signals
without a connection to a signal source (whether it's an antenna, or
cable).

I saw that, but I'm not sure what the OP was thinking when he said that
an antenna was useless for "on the go". Perhaps he doesn't know that the
frequencies of TV stations are low enough that a built-in antenna
wouldn't be very practical (the device would have to be very large). Or
that the market for such a device would be small especially if someone
*wanted* to connect their cable service to it, and couldn't.
