Mac OS and HDHomeRun
You can enjoy everything that HDHomeRun has to offer on your Mac OS device. Whether it's your Mac or your MacBook, you'll be able to stream just about everything on your device.
The only content not currently available on Mac OS is DRM content, which is content that is protected by copyright for digital media use. That means any content where they have to purchase the rights to stream it will not be available on this platform. An example of that would be a TV show that limits the amount of downloads you can get, restricting certain places to get the rights.
