If the TV is sold in the UK, then yes it has a QAM tuner.
All TVs have to be able to pick up Freeview to legally be sold as a TV in the UK. Freeview is the public name for the DVB-T service which is our Digital Video Broadcast - Terrestrial service. DVB-T is just the standard definition channels. DVB-T2 is the version of Freeview that includes HD as well as SD channels. The QAMs are the way in which the signal is encoded. But it's really a level of detail that you don't need to go to. It's sufficient to know that the tuner is ether DVB-T for SD only, or DVB-T2 to pick up SD and HD.

For most cable services, you need their decoder box to have the digital and HD services.
For the Sony HD TV, you will get best results with an HD cable box, and use the HDMI cable interconnect with it.
Call your cable company for details.

I found this solution at ehow.com and it works: http://www.ehow.com/how_5417083_hd-channels-comcast.html. You'll just have to switch over to another input to view the HD channels.

The Polaroid FLM-323B does not have a QAM (clear digital cable) tuner. It only has NTSC (analog) and ATSC (digital OTA) tuners. Retrevo has the manuals for the Polaroid FLM-323B here: http://www.retrevo.com/support/Polaroid-FLM-323B-TVs-manual/id/279ag018/t/2/ . You will need to enter a code to access the PDFs.
I wish that I had better news for you.You will need a set-top box if you want to watch digital cable.
