Well, I did some more experimenting tonight, including running a cable
directly between the HDHomeRun and this laptop.

I didn't see any significant difference between that configuration and
the "normal" one.

I did confirm that, as JC suggested, all the SD channels seemed to play
well, as well as they did through the TV, while the HD channels are
almost unwatchable.  Really, they are unwatchable.  Some of them
continued to play good audio, but there was very little to see.
