Comment on why doesn't the hdhomerun have an hdmi port to allow a user to just plug it into a tv?

I have one. My understanding is that it send the original broadcast mpeg over Ethernet without further compression, but I wouldn’t bet my life on that being true and I would guarantee that you care way more than I do. I’m just happy it works.
But I do think that’s the idea behind it being a network device. So all your devices can watch the signal rather than just the one it’s attached to by HDMI.
I’ll also note that all the clients I’ve tried have terrible interfaces ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

when you say all the clients you’ve tried have terrible interfaces… do you mean the clients for hdhomerun? or do you mean something else.

Clients for HD Homerun. I’ve only tried their own AppleTV client and Plex. Both of them work but have but I find them really unintuitive and difficult to navigate.
