New TV I'm looking at has built-in Cable tuner

Does that mean I can plug separate cable spur into it and get free to air cable channels?

It also has free view tuner so maybe stick to that?


P.S. also has internet input - could I use that?

Then why have TV`s with built in cable tuners, never seen one myself what brand and model.

Generic models, in some countries in the world you could add a card via the cam slot to access the local cable network.

Various European countries use DVB-C as their main TV service whereas we use DVB-T/T2 (Freeview/HD) so Samsung only have to change the plug supplied and not another version of the TV.

Not particularly a cable tuner as such, these sets usually tune through broadcast Bands I & III (VHF) as well as Bands IV & V (UHF). These bands are stiil used for broadcast TV in many parts of the world.

Indeed. Like in the US for example, where there are many cable providers.

No, these TVs specifically have a DVB-C tuner. My Sony TV has a DVB-T2 tuner and a DVB-C tuner built in.
