I don't think so.   I have both HD-3000 and HDHomeRun tuners, and was not
able to capture any of the premium digital channels I subscribed to.  I
*had* to use one of Comcast's cable boxes hooked up via firewire for those
channels.

I was able to capture my "local" HD channels from Comcast via my tuners, but
nothing else.
