You may find your HDHomeRun Prime is more of an impediment when you try using it without a cable card. You might have been better of with a standard (non-cablecard) HDHomeRun.
I've had zero problems with my Prime without a cable card. As you said above, the only trick was to configure it as a QAM device. I'd consider a cablecard if I could find a list of what channels are marked copy freely by my cable provider. Then I could see whether it's worth the hassle.
