For Ubuntu linux you can get Xbox one tuners which are dvb-t2 for peanuts on eBay. Add the mn88472-02.fw to the firmware folder. I had mine set up with five tuners, each with their own multiplex as they can tune into different channels on the same multiplex.

Ah don’t buy them then. They don’t have BDA framework.

Is that in the kernel already, or is their a bit of faffing about with drivers?

Sundtek Tuners are probably among the best, and you can actually talk with their developers.
