Not if you are going to use it for clear QAM from cable.
But yes, if you intend to grab OTA broadcast.

Note that the hdhomerun has no decryption facility. You will need other 
routes to grab HD digital from an encrypted set-top-box source. That 
requires completely different hardware considerations.

But for OTA its EASY!
