or will it also encode from another card in the box like the HD-3000?
Will it encode for two HD-3000 cards?

No. But assuming you're going to be capturing HDTV with those HD-3000's,
there is no encoding to do. The broadcast is already mpeg2.

So what purpose would the PVR-250/350 card even serve if my HD signal is
already encoded, and my output is going to a video card?

To record programs that aren't broadcast in HD. While the HD-3000 can tune both ATSC and NTSC, Myth only supports using one or the other (on a per-card basis). There are some technical reasons for this, which you can review in the mailing list archives. There has been some discussion about how to implement this, but it isn't a very high-priority item, so most of us with HD cards simply use an analog-only card for the analog stuff.
