The HDHR Prime has carries a CableCard and three tuners.  For three
concurrent recordings, you would have the initial cost of the HDHR-P,
and the monthly rental of one CableCard.  This would allow you to
record any of the channels that are marked copy-freely in the
transmission.

Perhaps you're thinking of the Hauppauge HD-PVR - this takes a
component input and connects to the PC via USB.  You would need one of
those and one cable box for each recording.
