I've never used a HD Home run so can't compare to that. The PC tuner card does seem to be slightly better than the tuner in the TV, Samusung 46" Smart TV, just a couple of years old. It gets a few channels that the TV struggles with, and clear picture on channels that the TV has drop outs on. If that helps any.

The PC does a much better job at Netflix and other online streaming than the built in apps in the smart TV, much better. So I guess it shouldn't be a suprise that the tuner is not steller either.

Edited to add;

The software that comes with the card also has a meda server function, so you can watch OTA channels on any web browser, phone, tablet, etc on your home subnet. Even has a link to the manufactures web site so you can setup viewing over the internet from anywhere. But WMC does a better job with the guide and channel changing, etc. IMHO
