Rear projectio dlp big screens

I am interested in buying a new set and was amazed at the price of the Rear projection dlps in the big sizes. I liked what I saw from Samsung 61". They list two of these sets. One has cable card and one does not. What is this? Thanks. I posted this in the wrong forum. I am new here so sorry

 

CarbleCard is an addon standard for cable companies to support subscription models for your TV without need of a cable box. In the states it is becoming a reality, albeit slowly. In Canada, we are still eons away from that. Wish CRTC would just mirror the tech side of FTC and be done with it.

 

Thanks for the reply but I am still unsure of what it is.

 

It's basically a cable box shrunk to the size of a credit card. You slide the card into the back of the TV, so you don't see a set top box.

Your cable company will have to provide you w/ the card though.

 

say you get that tv, then you want to get cable, you pick up a CableCard from the cable company and stick it into your tv, voila, no cable box.

 

Yes, but they will not just hand you a card. They will have to send an installer, to install it for you.

I do install them, not a big fan of them.
