Philips 50PF9731D-37 - Manual (Page 6)

Your new TV is provided with a special slot called a
CableCARD™ which means that you do not need a separate
set top box to receive digital cable SDTV and HDTV programs.
However it is still possible to connect a set top box to your TV.
The CableCARD, which will be available from your cable system
operator, is designed only for that particular digital cable TV
system. If you need to get digital cable TV from a different
system, simple swap your old CableCARD for a new one.
Cable systems can provide a wide range of digital TV programs
and even specialized digital audio channels.
Cable TV systems can offer many local-interest channels you
won’t see off-air or from a satellite broadcast. Examples include
local school and community access channels.
