The cable card is supplied by the cable company.

For full dual-channel recording, TiVo Premiere and XL require one M-card. Unlike the TiVo HD and HD XL, Premiere only has one CableCARD™ slot and therefore one M-card is required.
Note your TiVo Premiere/XL can also operate with a single S-card, but will only be able to record one digital cable channel at a time in this configuration

Does that mean I don't have to do any fancy wiring like I have now to watch one show on the TV and record something else on the TIVO by changing the channel on the actual TV and leaving the TIVO station alone?

Record two shows at once while watching a previously recorded show

Not record two and watch a third live program, but record two and watch a previously recorded (as long as you get the M Card and not the S Card from your cable company).

Choice 1 is the TV - it is separate from the TiVo (or not the TiVo).
Choice 2 is whether you want to buy a new TiVo.
