None of the 4 HDTV's I've purchased in the last 2 years have supported CableCards. I had an older 42" plasma TV from ~2004 that supported CableCard.

The tuning standards have also changed in some cable systems, so older TV's with CableCard slots may not work on modern systems anyway.

CableCard also wouldn't give you access to some features like on-demand, depending on the system.

Overall CableCard is mostly dying out.
