The HD-3000 really only makes sense if you're capturing a digital
signal. You don't need to upgrade to digital cable to get that; you
could hook up an antenna and tune in free OTA local broadcasts.
If you have no intention of tuning digital broadcasts or digital cable,
then you're better off with a PVR-xxx (150,250,350,500).

Since they're really designed for different purposes (analog
cable/broadcast vs. digital cable/broadcast), I wouldn't say either one
is "better". It's just a matter of which one better suits your
intended application.
