What value does this have over using the HDHomeRun source already in Channels?

None. It's for interfacing with other software.

For channels, you could save this m3u file and edit it and load as Custom Channels. The advantage would be if you wanted different sets of channels exposed to different DVRs, or to control the exact lineup for some reason.
