My Dell FP1901 monitor has analog and digital inputs - quite common these days.

I was wondering... if I get a cable box from Comcast (I have regular cable TV
(no box) and a cable modem from them), will the HD cable box have outputs in DVI
that I can send into my DVI input on the monitor (1280x1024)?

How does my monitor, with the digital input, differ from a HDTV monitor that has
no tuner? Doesn't the cable TV box for HD become your "tuner" and put out
video? and audio?

I'm in South Jersey, and Comcast HD is available in my area.
