Main reason is price. I can get the Elgato dual tuner for $130. I'm not 
worried about install issues. I was happy to patch the firmware for my 
HVR2200 to enable analogue to MPEG conversion so I don't fear a bit of 
driver or firmware hacking if necessary (which it shouldn't be with the 
Elgato unit).

Also not keen on losing support for mhegepgsnoop (which I wrote). This 
needs a device to talk to which isn't there with an HDHR. There is 
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/dvbhdhomerun/?source=directory) a 
sourceforge project to make the HDHR look like a device but I'm not sure 
it works with current HDHR hardware/firmware. I know there are other 
options to get a 7 day EPG but mhegepgsnoop just works for me and I 
don't need any of the extra features with the other options.

Don't get me wrong. The HDHR is a very nice unit but it just doesn't 
suit me at the moment.
