HDHomerun devices use DHCP, AFAIK.  I could use the MACs.

$ sudo tcpdump -i eth1
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on eth1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes
^C
0 packets captured
0 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel

That last one is not very enlightening to me...  Although the hdhr are 
supposed to be 100Mbit devices...
