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?

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

Re: New TV I'm looking at has built-in Cable tuner?
I'm sure this thread is about a television with a built in cable tuner. As such I suggest we all get back on topic

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.

Re: New TV I'm looking at has built-in Cable tuner?
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.
