I don't have one to say one way or another, but I assume you just need 
to provide a properly populated Video Source.  Specifically, one 
populated from a SchedulesDirect lineup.  The HDHomeRun libraries 
themselves detect what kind of device you're communicating with, and how 
they should behave.

That should only affect "record on channel X" rules.  The standard 
"record any" rules should continue to work just fine.
