Cable Cards?

I would like to flat mount a 32" LCD tv, yet to be purchased, and do not have space for a cable box . Cable company says a cable card will solve the problem but it appears many manufactures are no longer providing slots.  I would prefer not to get into wireless issues. Anyone have any wisdom here?

 I would advise you to find space for the box. It can be some distance away (15 feet via HDMI won't be an issue) as long as you have some line-of sight for your remote. Cable card TVs are rare and will cost more than a comparable regular model. Also cable card TVs will be more of a problem to initially set up and to upgrade in the future.
