Nick here from SIlicondust...

All HDHomeRun models tag UDP and RTP video stream packets with IP_TOS =
(5<<5). No target option required.

After reviewing I see two possible quirks...
1) Wireshark is reporting that as CS5 whereas I think it should be CS3 for
broadcast video.
2) The HDHomeRun should probably tag HTTP video stream packets with CS3 as
well.
