Pretty sure MythTV does not have an time based invalid
tuner option.

MythTV (for better or worse) makes a presumption that the
underlying hardware/tuners work.  Workarounds for various
challenged hardware exists, but they are just kludges.

I do not suppose you can get a different cable box?
The Cisco and Samsungs on BrightHouse reportedly
reboot (at least) twice a week.  I have not heard the
same regarding the Pace boxen (but they are apparently
fewer of them out there, so who knows).
