FWIW, I've had very good results with Aver Media USB DVB-T tuners. These
are a USB Pen-drive-style tuner and I have 2 - one is just a SD/HD DVB-T
tuner and the other is a hybrid that includes analogue TV, DTV (SD/HD),
composite and s-video inputs and FM radio.
Aver supply (non-OS) drivers for them on their web sites as source tar
balls with build scripts. I've had good success with both of them on
10.3 and they integrate nicely with Kaffeine. You need to have the
kernel headers installed to build the driver modules.
