This is equivalent of 4 TiVo boxes so needs a better signal.

Not true. All boxes need the same signal level no matter how many tuners they have. However, if you have more boxes you may need a higher signal level into the house.

Stronger, but not necessarily better. The signal level can be too high. You need to be on the correct tap for your cable length.

You need the same signal no matter what you are watching/recording. TiVo records on all tuners all the time anyway (except in power-saving mode) - it just goes into the live TV buffers if you aren't making permanent recordings.
