You may not have set up the hdhr correctly or completely.

I had some fun with this at first too. I ended up writing the following 
script to help me watch channels with vlc. It *REQUIRES* that the hdhr 
be set correctly. Without using the last line you can also use the 'save 
the stream and open it with mplayer' testing route.

#!/bin/bash
# hd0-chan-set : set channel and program, call vlc
$ As in 25 and 1 for 25.1
Channel=abc
Program=xyz
Channel=$1
Program=$2

echo "Args provided: Channel: "   $Channel "    Program: "     $Program

if [ $1 = abc ];
then
   echo "You must provide a tuning channel number or frequency, not a 
cable channel."
   exit;
fi
if [ $2 = xyz ];
then
   echo "Need to give a program number (PID)."
   exit;
fi

   hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF set /tuner0/channelmap us-bcast
   hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF set /tuner0/channel 8vsb:$1
   hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF set /tuner0/program $2
