No. No when it comes to subscription channels such as MTV, Food Netowrk etc. You have to have a cable box that is from a local cable provider and call the company to activate the service. If you have an HDTV with a digital tuner, you can plug in the basic cable from a wall into your television and scan for channels. You will only get unencrypted / basic network channels such as CBS, NBC, Fox, PBS, etc.
Do you need a set top box for basic cable service?
It really depends on your cable company and whether or not they've completely changed over to a digital signal yet. In that case, your TV would have to have a digital tuner in order to receive their signal. Many cable companies are supplying both at the present as they wait for America to switch to digital receivers. Best thing to do is call and ask the local cable provider.
My question is, what is digital TV?
Digital television has nothing to do with cable or satellite. The only thing digital television means is that the signal that is distributed is a digital one and not analog. The big switch that occurred two years ago means that everyone receives a digital signal. Now, if you want content, you are going to have to subscribe to a cable or satellite provider. What you probably saw was a basic service that gave you local channels, but not much else.
