The HDHomeRun tunes the channels (comes with a command line tool, but MythTV has support for it also). The device only does HD (over the air and QAM) and just streams the data over the network. I think only 1 client can read each stream at a time, but two different clients can stream from the device at the same time. Not sure about internal buffering.

You might get more answers on the forum.

No Tanner, I meant what I said. I compiled the MythTV backend on my
MacBook Pro and used a friends HDHomeRun to watch live tv and record
a show. It was only a test, but it worked.

Really?  That's pretty cool.  How exactly does the HDHomeRun work?
Does it just convert the over the air mpeg2 streams to go over the
network and all the storage, buffering, etc.. happens at whatever
computer is receiving it or does it have enough internal storage to
do the buffering, etc.. on the HDHomeRun?

Cheers,
