I have a series 2 and series 3. The series 3 has cable cards and therefore allows the show information for stations above 99. Can a series two with the built-in digital tuner record stations above 99 without having to get a box from the cable company?

Series 2 TiVos need a cable box to record any digital station no matter what the channel number. It can record analog stations up to 99.

Even if the TV is a Digital HD model?

It does not matter what kind of TV you have. The TV does not provide the signal to the Tivo. Tivo Series 2 can get its input from several sources, cable, cable with box, satellite, and over the air (select models). Series 2 Tivos have only built in analog tuners, and use a set top box to receive digital channels.
