For HDHomeRun you don't need dvbstreamer (the app) as they both do the
same thing ie convert the TV signal to network packets. dvbstreamer is
only required when you have a DVB/ATSC card attached to the computer.

This as you said is fine and works.

This bit is wrong, you don't want to be using the tv.dvbstreamer.record
plugin, you probably need to use the tv.generic_record plugin with a home
grown script to change the channel on the HDHomeRun and capture the UDP
packets to disk, perhaps using netcat might be the way to go here.
I've not used the generic_record plugin so I don't know what you will need
here, perhaps the wiki might have some more info on writing the script
(?!).

Hope this helps and when you get it working any chance you could add a few
words to the wiki to help any one else in the future?
