Tuner into Cable jack?


On a diagram of possible connections that comes with a new McIntosh component, they suggest routing a line between the "Cable Company Connection" and the FM Antenna jack on a tuner.
I had been considering adding a tuner (hence my inclusion of this post in the Analog section, I think tuners are considered analog...) but have had to postpone due to inability to get an antenna effectively running in my apartment. However if I could simply run a cable in between a cable TV jack and my tuner, that would be problem solved.
Has anyone done this before? Does this work? I had never heard of this possibility until seeing it on the diagram.
Again for context I am in an apartment building. Thanks.

Damn. Will likely give FiOS a call and check but doubtful from what I'm seeing online. 
That would have been great!
Fuzz, if it would have been quicker to try it I would have tried it.
I do not own a tuner and only plan to invest in one if I can make good use of it. I am not buying one just to test this cable jack premise.
