Hi Greg,

MythTV (svn trunk, soon to be 0.20) has a new capture device for direct 
HDHomeRun support. There are no kernel drivers or dependencies to have 
to get right.

Configuring - run mythtv-setup and add two new capture devices of type 
HDHomeRun. Configure the first device to use tuner 0 and the second 
device to use tuner 1.

You can run multiple HDHomeRun boxes - each box has two tuners so you 
would add two MythTV devices for each HDHomeRun box.

Nick
