Sorry, but there is no way to get that setup running on FreeBSD. As you
have already seen the hdhomerun "wrapper" that is used on linux is a
kernel module that doesn't work on FreeBSD and tvheadend itself does
not support hdhomerun yet.

The closes we could get is to ask Hans Petter Selasky if he sees a
chance to add the hdhomerun module to webcamd/cuse4bsd and how
much work it would be. (I've CC'd him already)
