What is M-Car Online for the HDHomeRun PRIME HDTV Cable (3-Tuner)? Is it necessary to buy it?

That's a cable card supplied by your cable provider.   Yes, you need it, it's what makes it work.  If you don't require cable, then get the OTA HDHR tuner.

Hi, good morning, one question. M-Car Online for HDHomeRun, my cable TV, NO DIREC TV, NO MOVISTAR, NOT CLARO, it is a supplier without decoder, they send it directly and when we share it at my address we simply add a Spliter and share it for the other TVs of my address, you think that to place my cable TV service to the HDHomeRun is necessarily Obtain the M-Car Online? I ask this question because I am from Peru and the HDHomeRun is not for sale here in my country, and I plan to import it from the US but I do not want to buy it and then I will not berry serve for not having the M-Car Online

Are you saying that your cable tv provider sends an unencrypted signal?  If that's the case, then I would imagine the HDHR would work w/o the need for a cable card.

It does but if you need an M-Card you have to get it from your CableTV Provider.
