Cool.

So that leads me to a secondary question.  ISTR reading that one card can 
only decrypt three streams at a time.

Does that mean Transport Streams?  IE: Assuming proper channel layout, is
it theoretically possible to record 12 encrypted channels off of 3 muxes,
using only that one tuner and CC?

Secondarily, does this imply that the 6-channel tuner will have 2 slots?

If so, can you get 2 CCs from your cableco?  And if not, how would you
handle it?  Just define 2 different lineups, one excluding all the
encrypted channels?
