You need a QAM tuner to pull digital TV signals off CATV.

An ATSC tuner is only for digital OTA broadcasts. The DTV boxes related to the switchover do nothing for tuning in digital cable channels.

As someone else mentioned, if you already have CATV, there isn't any need for a digital STB unless your cable co has digital service and you want it.
