In any case having the tuner devices rearranged at random intervals doesn’t help when he already has trouble seeing how cards, physical tuners and myth tuners interact.

When I was putting together my identical setup I found tuner rearrangement to be a big problem so that’s why I focus there first. Another biggie is what’s available on his cable connection, I thought comcast was dickish about encrypting everything so maybe there isn’t anything to record from the cable and hence a question there.

I've still taken little or no action, still reading
but
I can tell you a little more about the CATV service. 
We had what was called "Antenna Service"; i.e.: NO WHERE NEAR what most people call "Basic Service". 
It had channels 2 through 12 plus a variety of higher numbered channels that were things like CNN, CSPAN, Community Access and other crap. 

THEN

Comcast told us we had to connect our old NTSC glass-tubed sets to these converter boxes because the network was going digital. 
We did that.  It seems like the "after" is all the same channels, plus a few other ones that I don't care about. 

THEN

I purchased an HDTV and the hardware to make a MythTV box; 
and here we are...
