If you attach an aerial to the TV you should be able to watch the free to air channels but not via Freeview, you only get a rudimentary FTA programme guide with Sky Glass, not a full Freeview service.
The TV needs a SkyID in order to access & use the apps.

Yes - you can also attach devices to the hdmi (firestick , console, roku , freely). The recipient could also set up a basic sky subscription which would restore the in built apps and tv guide.
Gen 1 and Gen 2 Sky Glass & 3 Stream Pucks. Virgin media M500 on hub 5x. Three sky mobile sims.

Hi @Celia5 in addition to the advice already provided by other posters have a look as THIS link which explains the relevant procedures when giving away or receiving a used Glass TV.
If my post (or any other) has solved your issue please mark as an "Answer" as it helps others identify the solution
