you would need an ATSC tuner to get free digital and unfortunately only a cable box is able to pick up all of your subscriber and interactive channels.

There is a couple kinds of digital cable, one is the ATSC (just like over the air) format and the other is QAM format (quite common too), you can get tuner cards for both of those but you need to find out if your digital cable channels on your system are encrypted,
if you “need” a cable box to recieve them they likely are even if they are not premiums like HBO, they do that so they can adjust different tiers of programming you may purchase and shut them off for a no-pay, all remotely

The Slingbox™ PRO allows you to watch and control up to four video sources—including one HD video source (when used with HD Connect)—from anywhere in the world on your laptop or cell phone. That means you can virtually take your entire home theater with you, including your DVR, digital cable, satellite receiver, and DVD player.
