tangentially related, another option is a DVB-T (USB) receiver; they
would work in EU, Middle-East, Africa, Australia.

there is an open source library for rtl2832u-based DVB-T receivers.
(http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr).  i think the major effort
in porting it to plan9 would be replacing its use of libusb.  the
receiver can be used to receive/decode many other signals.

for North America (HDTV), you'd need an ATSC receiver.  there
are linux open source projects that have drivers for them (VLC,
GnuRadio), but that's probably a much bigger porting job.
