From the FAQ entry on the product site and your description, you can then use the two separate antennas with the two tuners (assuming the PC software allows this). This would not let you watch one channel and record another unless the sources where from each antenna but this would be a minor inconvenience.

If you install two fixed aim antennas and were to purchase only one HDHR3-US, you would be limited to using it with only one antenna. If you can find an earlier model at a fair price I think you'll find it an interesting and capable tuner. The older model will perform as well as the newer model, but you'll be able to connect two antennas.

I own both the older HDHR-dual and the current model HDHR3-US. My software sees no difference between the two models. Because I own several tuners, I have yet to encounter a situation where a tuner was not available to view or record from the desired antenna source.
