Not to mention the power draws of your DTAs + PVR 500s will be
significantly higher than a single cable card device with as many
tuners.  Some of those DTAs can draw as much as 25 Watts for just one
box.  An HDHR Prime idles around 5 Watts and only needs a few Watts
more for doing three streams at once.
