Usually Shaw is excellent for helping me, but now I'm confused!

Wow.....you managed to get a very uninformed CSR. As stated earlier, the portals are simply that, a portal to access the gateway that has all the recording tuners. Technically you don't need a portal at all to record TV.
When I go on holidays, I turn off the breaker switch on the surge protectors on all the tv setups in the house that shuts off power to the TV, Portal, xbox etc leaving just the gateway running in the basement.
Still records just fine.
