Sorry for the confusion. I am not sure to answer your question. I do know for sure that freeview is available as an external set top box which plugs into a USB slot. The device has its own built in TV card which enables you to watch the channels on your PC. I think it was available from Hauppauge. In fact a quick look on their UK site, (won't give out the url in case I'm not supposed to but it's not too difficult to guess what it is) shows they have several including the PCI and external USB one. As far as I know though, that's the best you are going to get. One of them even has a slot for Pay TV and has teletext and remote. They also do a satellite one but can't see any mention of cable sadly.
