The HDHomeRun Prime with a CableCard can replace both the HDPVR and the
Motorola 6200.  On the up side, the cable card rental is half the price
of a stb, supports three tuners, and there are no tuning issues.  On
the down side, you can only record channels marked "copy freely".  This
may or may not be an issue for you.  The only channels on my cable that
I would like to record but can't are the HBO family of channels, but
then again I don't subscribe to a lot of premium channels.
