It's a Motorola DCX3200-M single-tuner HD box for $138 that will get a dozen or so HD channels from the plan that I'm paying for already.

You're putting the cart before the horse.  The question shouldn't be
"How do I record from a Motorola DCX3200-M?", it should be "How do I
best record HD from Shaw Cable in Canada?"   To answer that question,
you need to know whether or not the channels are encrypted and how the
copy control information flags are set on the channels you care about.
