I have the HDHomerun Prime, 6 tuners on 2 units are used by my MBE. The 
only problem I have is when someone grabs one of the tuners with the 
smart TV and the MBE decides to use that tuner. I have a 3rd HDHRP for 
use by non-Myth devices but that requires the human running the smart TV 
to remember which tuners to use.

I know nothing of Comcast however, my cable company is Wave Broadband 
and so far (knock on wood) they have been very good about marking 
channels as copy freely. Only the acknowledged premium (HBO, etc) 
channels are marked copy once.
