AFAIK the HD Homerun isn't out yet.. (I have ordered one from 9th
tee).  Jafa who is the main developer is on the list (I think) and may
be able to give you some more information on the reception.  Not that
it matters... but I live about 25 miles from my towers and have some
rolling hills and my antenna pointed directly into tree's and get
decent signals.  But 25 miles isn't 60 miles.  My QAM setup is all
messed up so I just switched all my tuners set on OTA now.

I'm really excited about the HD Homerun, I think it is a very cool
implementation.  I just home it works as Advertised, and that a QAM
enabled firmware ships with it, or doesn't take long to become
available.
