No, it's not possible. They're 2 very different technologies/standards.

Oh... Lol sorry I wasn't thinking of the Set top boxes, those are a differnt, and for each provider are they use different standard from what I understand, but for digital broadcast over Air HDTV or HDTV Content on Cable you could use a HDTV Tuner Card
