Pretty sure you won't find much that can do this. Some cos. are working on a tuner/decoder that will use a standarized card (a la satellite dishes) in place of the cable box, but from what I understand it's a) a couple years off and b) if available, has only limited acceptance so far. So, what you'd need is a tv that has an IR blaster to change the channels on the cable box. After all, if you're using digital cable, the tuner is the cable box, not the tv.

what baltassoc says is probably the best approach. get a universal remote, or a tv with a programmable remote, so you can program it to change the cable box channels.
The remote for my receiver (a Yamaha) is programable, and I use that to control my rntire system. Alternatively, I would look to the Marantz line of universal remotes: they're supposed to be terrific and very user-friendly.
