Will the TivoHD work with standard cable and TV? Or is a Cable card required?

My parents have a tube TV and standard cable. I wanted to make sure their system was upgradable so I bought them the Tivo HD after reviewing this chart (https://www3.tivo.com/store/boxes.do?Wt.ac=shophome_compareDVRs_compareDVRsdet_img#tab_dvrcompare). Now that we open the box, it looks like you need a Cable Card to make the Tivo HD work.

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Cable card decoder is required to receive digital and HDTV. According to their website, The CableCARD™ replaces your cable box, and tells the TiVo DVR which channels you are authorized to receive. Call your cable company to schedule the installation of a CableCARD decoder into your TiVo HD.

The standard TV is fine, but you will need a cable card, according to their chart. You can still get an antenna signal, though.
