While a USB N chipset was a major issue until recently there are other products that are coming to the penguin catalog. I've finally gotten the USB TV tuner issue figured out and can confirm that there will be something available shortly. It'll support both the ATSC standard in the United States and DVB-T standards used in Europe (and elsewhere)! The best part is the tuner will work with Trisquel 6 “out of the box”.
The only thing left is to figure out the pricing. It'll probably go for $99-$139 USD although I'm hoping to get the price down. This is a great tuner for GNU/Linux though and there really aren't any other possibilities. At least not for those in the United States.
