Really... So that is some powerfull voodoo.  :-)

So I can use the HD3000 as both analog and digital.  That is very cool!

I guess what I can do is set up the hd3000 to be the secondary analog 
receiver, after the PVR150. I take it, though, that the analog side is a 
BT878-type non-hardware video capture.

OK, more ideas to play with...
