I'd highly, highly, highly recommend staying away from USB TV tuners. Get a
HDHomeRun model that fits your needs. I have (2) HDHR3s and LOVE them. These are
network-based tuners and well supported by Linux.  Plus, you can run the TV
recording OS inside a virtual machine - so no need to have dedicated hardware
just for that.
