Cable company is bringing HDTV to town soon, so I may pull the trigger on a new TV. Will an HDTV-capable monitor be sufficient with the HDTV cable box, or will I need a separate HDTV reciever?

if you go the satellite way you might be interest for "testing". If you go the cable way you will not be able and it will be more expensive.

I have Comcast HD cable and only needed the HD cable box. Make sure the guy knows what he's doing. I had to have them come out three times to get it connected correctly. I would recommend getting the service package that gets you INHD and INHD2.
Depends on what programming you want and what is being offered by your cable co. Go to the below web site to find out what digital (but may not all be HDTV) stations are available in your area. Then find out which ones will be carried by the cable people. Then look at the sat dish options for their programming for a comparison.My local cable co., Cox, doesn't offer all the locals HD stations yet. I compliment their HD box with an OTA/HD Zenith receiver and 4228 antenna, feeding into another input of my TV. Check out the AVS HDTV hardware forum for more info.
My provider (Cox) uses a Scientific Atlanta 3100HD box. Works great, although the channel offerings are still pretty meager at this point (ABC/NBC/CBS/PBS/InDemand HD/Discovery HD/ESPN-HD, HBO & Showtime's HD channels are included if you subscribe to the regular version).
