I'm not quite sure I'm following you, so let's clarify a few things.
1. What source are you trying to record on your DVR?
2. You say you have a "3D TV tuner box", but are you referring to the Mitsubishi 3D adapter for a Mits DLP TV? If not, what is this device you're speaking of?
3. Are you saying you have a separate DVR and separate cable box?

I am wondering what I need to do in order for me to display two signals out of my HD, #D TV cable box? I actually have a 3D tuner box, and I have the 3D TV as well as a 3D blue-ray........ Blue-ray is not important, but how might I record this on a regular DVR? It displays out of the box in HDMI, but the DVR does not have a HDMI in! It does not seem to want to display two signals, one in HDMI and the other in CATV! Does this not work?

So far I have not been able to record a 3D program, that is what I would like to accomplish! The 3D only comes out in HDMI, I think I bought a HDMI Cablebox to record, but I need it to go out to the TV in HDMI as well, that is the way 3D works....... I have an LG 47LX9500 Television, and a Comcast HD Cable Box, yes seperate Cable Box to DVR! I dont know the rest?

Without knowing what you purchased as a DVR, it will be hard to give you any idea what may or may not be working. That said, I know of no standalone DVR with HDMI input capablility to capture. In fact, HDMI is wrapped in protection technologies to prevent capture and recording, which means I don't believe your approach will work.
My advice to you is to forego the separate DVR/Cable box approach, and swap out your Comcast HD Cable Box for their HD-DVR.
Alternatively, you could get a TiVo Premiere and Cable Card. You wouldn't capture your Cable Box output in that case. The TiVo, equipped with a Cable Card from your cable provider, can record and playback any (non on-demand) 3D content you subscribe to.
