Cable Boxes

I have two, wall-mounted TV's with direct cable connections. I understand that I will need to add mini-boxes due to the all-digital movement. If I chose to add cable boxes to these two TV's in lieu of the mini boxes, are there small, mini cable boxes that will hang on the back of the TV? I'm looking for something similar in size to the mini boxes.

The smallest boxes I've seen us use outside of the mini-boxes would be our Series 7 Contour 2-tuner boxes but I don't think they would be as small as you're looking for.  I'm not sure of your setup but one idea that's popular with wall mount setups is to mount a small shelf to the wall above the TV big enough to support whatever equipment you may wish to install.

Oh, c'mon. Please use model numbers. What model numbers are part of this fictitious "Series 7 Contour 2-tuner" series of boxes? The Cisco 4742HDC is their smallest STB at 2.0 in. x 11.2 in. x 9 in., but that is still quite a bit larger than the Mini-box (141mm x 109mm x 40mm.)
