I don't know if this is a technical limitation of the CableCard system,<br>
or just one in Silicondust's design. The HDHomeRun Prime has two<br>
operating modes. With no installed card, it functions just like a<br>
3-tuner HDHomeRun. Each tuner can record multiple streams through<br>
multirec, up to the soft limit of 5 imposed by MythTV. With a card<br>
installed, each tuner only allows a single stream, meaning you can only<br>
record three shows simultaneously.<br>
<br>
So, yes and no.<br>

And it has an internal splitter so it only needs one coax input? I plan on renting a cable card when I buy one, but I just wanted to make sure that I'm understanding this feature correctly. <br>
