    GOT the Solution............and I knew it would be so darn simple. Won't tell You how much time I invested chasing it today.

    A good friend & Apple expert gave me the answer almost instantly.

    All I had to do was go into the MacBook Pro > System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Firewall Options (might have to unlock access via bottom left corner) > Unclick Block All Incoming Connections > click the + at the bottom of the Big Window (mine was blank) > Click on Applications (from the list presented > Click on the HD HomeRun App > Click OK..............Voila - over the air TV on MacBookPro instantly.

    BTW the Firewall is still showing Green (On) it's just that the HD HomeRun App is connected.

    I hope this helps someone so they don't have to burn up time.........but it was a learning experince .....oouch.
