Depends on what tuner you have, There are 3 standards of digital tuner.

1: DVB-T for Terrestrial over the air AKA Freeview
2: DVB-S for satellite AKA Freesat
3: DVB-C for cable

So if you have a DVB-C device then you should be able to receive all the cable channels using either a softcam such as VPlug or a hardcam solution.
