Cable Card and box

I'm planning on getting an HDTV with an integrated tuner. If I get a
Cable Card installed, can I still use a box and bypass the Cable Card
to get the interactive PPV/VOD programming? Or do I have to choose
either the Card or box, but not both, and deal with the limitations of
each? As you can tell, I'd like to have my cake and eat it too.

Thanks,

Rerics
