Yes. Unless you want to go down the DLNA route (which requires your TV to have a DLNA client and it sounds like yours don't?)

What "box" would you recommend I place at each TV to get Kodi services and Live TV?
Raspberry Pi 2s have very good 1080i and 576i/480i deinterlacing for the price and excellent support. Depending on your approach to integrating your HD Homerun into your system, you might want to run a main server box (like a Chromebox etc.) with a bit more IO throughput (GigE, USB 3 etc.) to handle recording and intermediate serving duties, rather than run the HDHRs straight into Kodi?
The Chromebox has very high quality deinterlacing - outperforming the Pi 2 I'd suggest. The AMLogic boxes also do a very good job of deinterlacing - unusually for non-Pi ARM devices.
