No it works without host mode only the SNR/Signalstrength is not working, but thats not so important for me.
A Container with Host Mode is not a Container, its the same as installed on Host Machine.
If someone knows what ports or service is sending the SNR Strength let me know
regardless, the link i provided explains which situations require host mode. if you need more info than this, i suggest asking tvheadend directly, we support the container, not the application in the container
