Yep - you'll almost certainly find HD HomeRun users here split into two camps :
1. US users who are using ATSC Cable tuners with CableCards - which decrypt the encrypted ATSC Cable broadcasts - but also have to enforce DRM as a result for some (all?) broadcasts. (The HD HomeRun is one of the only PC viewing solution that DOES allow viewing of Pay Cable other than using a set-top box and HDMI or Component capture and re-encoding)
2. US and European/Aus/NZ users who are using ATSC OTA and DVB-T/T2 (and in some cases DVB-C) models which are used to decode FTA unencrypted broadcasts and have no DRM requirements. (I don't think SiliconDust currently make a DVB-C/T/T2 solution with a CI slot to take a CAM - the DVB CableCard equivalent for Pay OTA and Pay Cable - though that might also require some DRM to be applied if they do)
Users from category 1. have far fewer options for viewing the output of their HDHR content than those in category 2. because of the DRM requirement.
