According to [2], the ATSC patch is only embedded in the vdr package of PPA the-vdr-team (which is based on VDR plus the so called "extensions patch"), but you could ask yourself on vdr-portal.de for further information. It's in German language, but English postings are also welcome and there is also an international section in English language [3].

It's not that bad to get going. I just checked out the source for GDA's VDR build, edited the debian build templates for plugins and made my own deb package for vdr-plugin-atscepg.
ATSC support works out of the box, like you said, but the plugin is necessary for guide info and it has an integrated channel scanner.
