According to posts on both Gizmodo and Zatz Not Funny, TiVo has sent a letter to the FCC and cable operators notifiying them that testing has started on the Series3 HD CableCARD units and they should be released to retail stores soon.

Text from the letter states:

The TiVo Series3 HD DVR product supports up to two CableCARD decoders. This product acts as two independent single stream UDCP CableCARD hosts within one set top box. It can also be configured to operate as a single CableCARD device.

This product is currently being tested by a small number of consumers in cable markets across the country, and will be generally available in retail stores soon. Thus, we wanted to ensure that you are aware of this product in time to make any necessary preparations to support customers who request two CableCARD decoders for their TiVo Series3 HD DVR.
