Difference in Built-in Tuners

Can't Post

I'm new on this forum; this is my first post. I plan to buy a HD wide screen TV and do not want to use a built-in tuner so I will not have to use a cable box to watch TV in HD. I will be on Time Warner cable. I am looking at TV's with two types of built-in tuners: One is "Digital-ready (DCR) that permits me to receive HD digital programming with a CableCard from the cable complany. The other is an "intregrated TV" with a "QAM" receiver. I am wondering if I buy the latter, will I be able to simply hook to the cable and receive the HD programming on local channels without subscribing to their "High Definition Tier", which includes not only the local, but other digital channels. Time Warner was unable to give me the answer as they are not familiar with all types of TV's and tuners.
