Just as the title says, I tried a lot to do it.

Now, in that I don't even get all my channels, my cable operator supplier with over 200 channels but not even 50 come loaded in when I run a Scan.

I tried setting with frequency but the frequency of all channels is in 6 digits and in my Hitachi TV, when I set my channels it shows frequency in 3 digits.
Probably Megahertz/hertz or some problem, if you know than do provide the conversions :normal:

So please help me with my these 2 major concerns

Also there's a concern about storage..
there are lots of formats available for recording TV, like avi, 3gp, dvd, ipod, mpeg,...
but all come as like 5 MB per SECOND!
Now that's too high for recording any movie or such, so what do I do about it?

You probably need to start by learning the different types of signals used in broadcasting, and which are in use by your cable company. The device you are using can only tune analog channels.

Most cable companies have multiple formats. Starting with analog - which is all of the basic channels that you can typically tune with most video equipment, such as TV's, VCR's, Tivo, etc. without the use of a cable box. There are also digital channels, which typically includes the "expanded" channels. Newer hardware is capable of tuning the digital channels. And of course the encrypted digital channels, which is all of the premium channels such as HBO, Showtime, Pay Per View, etc. (can only be tuned with a cable box or cable card device).

As for recording, aside from format, there are typically options for "quality" or "bitrate". Have you checked the User Manual?
