I would also look at the Ceton cablecard tuner if your backend has a
free PCIe slot, it has 4 tuners instead of "only" 3. I'm using a Ceton
and have had no issues with it.

they also have a USB version, but I have no experience with it.

I am also on Comcast and have NBA League Pass as well, I am able to
record those channels via the Ceton, In theory all the CCI codes for
all Comcast regions should be the same so you should not have an
issue.
