You could place the 3576 1st on the coax in front of either #1 or #2 cable boxes as shown in sketch 1b here , scan for channels with the Channels > Auto Channel Preset > Cable (Analog/Digital) menu as described here, and see how many are unscrambled. If any, then you could record one channel while watching another thru the Mot tuner or the TV tuner while the 3576 is recording.
Motorola boxes don't send WS signals thru their Composite or S-Video outputs (the only cables the 3576 can accept that'll deliver the 480i signal all DVDRs need to record), but you could also make 4:3 copies of stuff only the box can tune. With a "filter" on the box > 3576 connection, like the Apple TV Converter or others, you could deliver full 16:9 WS to the 3576 thru those 480i connections.
With HD boxes, just be aware that the 3576 is a SDTV recorder so PQ won't be as good as your true HD stuff.
