Welcome to the forum. You do need an Internet connection to set up the box as it requires authenticating with your NOW TV username and password as well as downloading updates. If you have Internet access but no wifi you can connect using Ethernet to set up, otherwise you'll need to take it to a friend or family to connect to their wifi and set up. In theory once setup you should be able to use it just for watching Freeview without Internet however compared to other dedicated Freeview receivers it's quite lacking in features such as no record, no 7 day EPG, basic channel interface so you may well decide a dedicated Freeview receiver would be a better option in your case.

@Anonymous User Should have also mentioned in case you aren't aware that all the other apps that come with the box eg NOW TV, BBc iPlayer, ITV Hub etc all require an Internet connection so without one you won't be able to access those, including making use of any free NOW TV pass that came with the box.
