monitor HP s2031 will not receive channels of cable TV, due to hdcp. What should do?

I move to a building with only cable TV reception. I'm planning a ditching of an old, huge (not flat screen) tv and use my monitor s2031 hp with a tv tuner that will receive from a cable connection.  I'll pay gladly for channels such as hbo, starz, etc, but my hp s2031 monitor was HDCP, which apparently allows to block channels.  Am I incorrect?  HP probably has a solution for people who are willing to pay for content. I can't afford a new monitor, and I don't want to lug around my current giant to the new location. The screen on my laptop is much smaller.

You are incorrect. HDCP (content protection high definition) will stop sending analog signals of HD content. Since your HP s2031 monitor has both VGA (analog) and DVI - D input (digital), you'll need to use the DVI - D input, watch HD content. Your cable box is likely to have a HDMI output. To use with your monitor will require a HDMI-DVI cable.
