169.254. looks awfully familiar, and it only comes up when device can't get IP. Things would go easier if HDHomerun got an IP from the router.
Here's some info on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-local_address#IPv4 Note that it says you shouldn't use it and regular IP addresses together. This is because computers will use either a regular IP address or a link local address, but not both. It takes more configuration to provide both on the same interface. It can be done, but shouldn't be. I agree the cause of this problem is that device using a 169.254.0.0 /16 address. It should use DHCP or a static address.
