TVs with integrated cable box

I'm starting to look for a new TV and wanted to know if there are any brands that have an integrated cable converter.

Not really, most cable companies have different hardware

Closest you'll find to something like that would be a CableCard Ready TV. You still need the cablecard from your cable provider, however. Here are some from Best Buy as examples.

Some TVs have QAM digital cable tuners built in. You would only get those channels that are not encrypted by your cable provider.
Make sure that your cable company still supply cable cards and double check that the TV has a cable card. The first two on the best buy link above don't mention a cable card slot as an input.

Many thanks. We do have a cable card from our provider. I'll have a look at your recommendations.
