if you installed their software then it could be doing anything. it
is very likely that they do not have anyone still around who remembers
what the software does. You would have to look at it and see if it is
a bunch of scripts and/or how it works.
I use my HDhomeruns via mythtv. The hardest part of mythtv is the
initial setup, once you get it setup about all I have had to do is
update the channel list and/or run a scan every so often because the
broadcast channels keep changing frequencies.
