Though I think this depends on your TV tuner solution. The Pi had pretty major issues with a large number of USB DVB tuners because of USB driver issues. These have been worked on, and more DVB-T sticks now appear to work. However the workhorse DVB-T2 tuner, required for HD OTA in the UK, Sweden etc., the PCTV 290e, had issues even with USB fixes last time I checked. (Continuity errors causing frequency picture break-ups) Was a real pity - I switched to a GoFlex Net running TVHeadend instead as my backend (which also had a SATA interface so was a good fit in PVR terms)
