DISCLAIMER:  I haven't used _any_ USB tuners, but have researched a few
with the thought of using a Raspberry Pi as a MythTV backend.  Following
is what I learned.


A)  WinTV-HVR-955Q

If you do not wish to upgrade your GNU/Linux or MythTV installation,
then this USB option would provide 1 ATSC tuner that should work with
your existing configuration.


B)  WinTV-dualHD TV Tuner

If you are open to upgrading your GNU/Linux and MythTV installation,
then this USB option provides 2 ATCS tuners.

Note that the Hauppauge site indicates that they support the above two
tuners via a Personal Package Archive (PPA) for *ubuntu 16.04 and 17.04.

Note that I am not affiliated with Hauppauge, but have had good
experiences with the seven WinTV-HVR-2250's I purchased back in 2011.
