I agree this should be a FreezeException due to the ABI breakage with 20170815-1.
libhdhomerun changed some type definitions for exported functions between 20161117 and 20170815. See:
https://github.com/Silicondust/libhdhomerun/commit/94edccd040a5a8021d28c37ca51677d8a8d9d07c
https://github.com/Silicondust/libhdhomerun/commit/1d68aab36702497674cc26907bb48fff5ea8b7ee

This causes the ABI differences between the versions, but the soname
version wasn't bumped between 20161117-2 and 20170815-1. The soname
version was bumped from 3 to 4 with 20170815-2 in Debian. If this fix
isn't made, packages that were built against the previous 20161117-2 dev
package won't work properly with 20170815-1 due to the ABI change.

To fix this, the libhdhomerun package should be bumped to 20170815-2,
and all dependencies on libhdhomerun3 rebuilt against the new dev
package to get the new libhdhomerun4 dependency.

  libhdhomerun ABI breakage

Status in libhdhomerun package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  There was an ABI change with the bump to version 20170815-1 of
  libhdhomerun (the types of some exported function arguments were
  changed). libhdhomerun 20170815-2 has been released at debian which
  bumps libhdhomerun3 to libhdhomerun4 to reflect the ABI change. Can
  Ubuntu pull in libhdhomerun 20170815-2 and rebuild dependencies for
  Artful?
